Passage

1 Kings 21

• Glossary Term

  Blood Guilt

  The moral/legal weight of Naboth's judicial murder (1 Kings 21:19); must convey covenant justice, not merely 'guilt' in a generic sense.

  1KI.21.1-29

• Doctrine

  Divine Judgment on Ahab's House

  The judgment pronounced on Ahab's dynasty is divine, not a human court verdict; 'juicio' must be clearly marked as God's own verdict and action throughout.

  1KI.21.20-24

• Glossary Term

  Judgment

  Must be clearly marked as divine judgment (God's verdict and action) rather than a human legal proceeding, which 'juicio' also commonly denotes in Spanish.

  1KI.21.20-24

• Doctrine

  Naboth's Vineyard

  Naboth's judicial murder over his ancestral vineyard is a covenant-justice violation (property and life protected under God's law), not a simple property dispute; Elijah's confrontation of Ahab models prophetic accountability of even the king.

  1KI.21.1-29

• Glossary Term

  Repentance

  Ahab's partial repentance (1 Kings 21:27-29) delays but does not cancel judgment; distinguish from the Catholic sacramental sense of 'penitencia' (confession/absolution) some readers may default to.

  1KI.21.27-29

• Doctrine

  Repentance and Delayed Judgment

  Ahab's partial repentance delays but does not cancel judgment (it falls on his son instead); distinguish from the Catholic sacramental sense of 'penitencia' (confession/absolution) some readers may default to for 'arrepentimiento.'

  1KI.21.27-29

• Glossary Term

  Vineyard

  Naboth's ancestral vineyard (1 Kings 21), which Ahab and Jezebel seize through judicial murder.
