Divine Retribution (11 of 11)
Series: Standing for the Truth

Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
keeping watch on the evil and the good.

:19 Ahab was guilty of two sins: the death of Naboth because his covetousness was the cause of it and taking possession of the property which showed he agreed with what had been done.
He took advantage of the death of an innocent man.
God is angry at anything that violates his laws and because he is holy and just he must punish sin. Shorter Westminster Confession (1646) - Question 84 ''Every sin deserves God's wrath and curse.''
