Notes
I will get you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite: Jezebel's ruthless actions showed her cultural background. Canaanite kings acted as they wished (1 Kings 21:8–10, 15, 25; see 19:1–2; 2 Kings 9:30–31).
The writer shares another event where King Ahab reacted with anger and sulking (1 Kings 20:43; 21:4).
