And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine — Elijah's message is direct and devastating: Ahab has killed and stolen. His judgment will be death in the same place where Naboth's blood was shed. The phrase shows proportional justice: he will receive the fate he deserved from Naboth's murder.
