I Kings 21:3 (2021) – And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee. [cf. Num. 36:7 – So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. Lev. 25:23 – The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me. Ezek. 46:18 – Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession. There were still God-fearing people, such as Naboth, in an idolatrous nation, such as the northern kingdom of Israel. Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him (I Kings 19:18).]
