Jezebel.
So Jehu thought.
Naboth.
If you idolaters had done God’s will
And killed these Syrians when God bade you kill,
You would have had no other siege to dread.
Ashobal.
You must not speak this evil of your rulers.
Say nothing but as touching on the treaty.
Jezebel.
Whether your land should be enclosed or no
I cannot tell: Duke Jehu says it should be;
Says that for public good it should be walled.
You would not sorrow that your land should go
For greater safety of your fellow townsmen?
Naboth.
I would.
