For the last couple of days, we've been examining the episode of Ahab's stealing of the vineyard of Naboth through the vindictiveness and evil conspiracy of Jezebel, Ahab's wife. And we saw how God sent the prophet Elijah to warn Ahab and to remind him that not a single thing happens on earth without God seeing it and knowing it. And Ahab, ashamed of what he had done, puts on sackcloth and begins to do penance, so that God was moved to pity and compassion.
