What Happened

King Ahab pouted like a toddler because Naboth wouldn't sell his family vineyard. Jezebel orchestrated a whole fake trial with planted witnesses, got Naboth stoned to death, and handed Ahab the property. Elijah pulled up and told Ahab dogs would lick HIS blood in the same spot. The original true crime story and it's unhinged.
