1 Kings 21:23

Context
21:23 The Lord says this about Jezebel, ‘Dogs will devour Jezebel by the outer wall 3  of Jezreel.’

1 tn Heb “after these things.” The words “the following episode took place” are added for stylistic reasons.

2 sn King Ahab of Samaria. Samaria, as the capital of the northern kingdom, here stands for the nation of Israel.

map For location see Map2 B1; Map4 D3; Map5 E2; Map6 A4; Map7 C1.

3 tc A few Hebrew mss and some ancient versions agree with 2 Kgs 9:10, 36, which reads, “the plot [of ground] at Jezreel.” The Hebrew words translated “outer wall” (חֵל, khel, defectively written here!) and “plot [of ground]” (חֵלֶק, kheleq) are spelled similarly.
