Naboth -- the Jezreelite vineyard owner whose judicial murder by Jezebel became a paradigm of royal injustice
A Jezreelite landowner whose vineyard adjoined King Ahab's palace in Jezreel. When Naboth refused to sell his ancestral inheritance, Queen Jezebel orchestrated false charges of blasphemy, leading to his execution by stoning (1 Kgs 21). His innocent blood became the grounds for prophetic judgment against the house of Ahab, fulfilled when Jehu's chariot passed the very field once belonging to Naboth (2 Kgs 9:21-26). The name likely derives from a root meaning 'to sprout' or 'produce fruit,' an ironic fit for a man remembered for his vineyard.
