In 1 Kings 21 we find a story about a Jezreelite man named Naboth who owns a lush vineyard coveted by Ahab, the King of Samaria. In 2 Kings 9 we find verses which very loosely relate to the story of the vineyard in 1 Kings 21 and which function to give the theological rationale for the murder of Ahab's son and the overthrow of his dynasty. Cronauer proposes that a close source, composition, and redaction analysis of the Naboth material raises serious questions about the traditional interpretation of this material and of its dating to the time of Jehu. He contends that there is sufficient evidence to hypothesize a much more complex history of composition and redaction, and, a much later dating for this material.
