Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass, after these things,.... After the two battles with the king of Syria, in which Ahab was victorious, and after he had let Benhadad, a blasphemer, and injurious to him, go free:
[that] Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel; of which place :- or "who was in Jezreel"; that is Naboth, for the vineyard was in Samaria, 1 Kings 21:18
hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria; that being the metropolis of the kingdom of Israel, is put for it, who, besides his palace in Samaria, had another in Jezreel; which, according to Bunting y, were sixteen miles distant from each other.
y Travels, &c. p. 164.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A vineyard ... in Jezreel - The name Jezreel is applied in Scripture, not merely to the town 1 Kings 18:46, but also to the valley or plain which lies below it, between Mount Gilboa and Little Hermon (2Sa 2:9; 2 Kings 9:10; Hosea 1:5; etc.).
The palace of Ahab at Jezreel was on the eastern side of the city, looking toward the Jordan down the valley above described. It abutted on the town wall 2 Kings 9:30-31. Immediately below it was a dry moat. Beyond, in the valley, either adjoining the moat, or at any rate at no great distance, was the plot of ground belonging to Naboth 2 Kings 9:21.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXI
Ahab covets the vineyard of Naboth, and wishes to have it either
by purchase or exchange, 1, 2.
Naboth refuses to alienate it on any account, because it was his
inheritance from his fathers, 3.
Ahab becomes disconsolate, takes to his bed, and refuses to eat,
4.
Jezebel, finding out the cause, promises to give him the
vineyard, 5-7.
She writes to the nobles of Jezreel to proclaim a fast, to
accuse Naboth of blasphemy, carry him out, and stone him to
death; which is accordingly done, 8-14.
She then tells Ahab to go and take possession of the vineyard;
he goes, and is met by Elijah, who denounces on him the
heaviest judgments, 15-24.
Ahab's abominable character, 25, 26.
He humbles himself; and God promises not to bring the threatened
public calamities in his days, but in the days of his son,
27-29.
NOTES ON CHAP. XXI
Verse 1 Kings 21:1. After these things — This and the twentieth chapter are transposed in the Septuagint; this preceding the account of the Syrian war with Ben-hadad. Josephus gives the history in the same order.
