In The Portion Of Jezreel is a historical fiction novel written by J. Leonard Cowper and published in 1908. The story is set in ancient Israel during the reign of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel. The main character is a young man named Naboth, who lives in the city of Jezreel and is a farmer by trade. Naboth is a devout follower of the God of Israel and deeply values his family's ancestral land, which has been passed down through generations. However, when King Ahab desires Naboth's land for his own personal vineyard, Naboth refuses to sell it, citing the law of the land that forbids the sale of ancestral property. This decision sets in motion a chain of events that leads to Naboth's tragic downfall. Queen Jezebel, known for her ruthless and cunning ways, concocts a plan to have Naboth falsely accused of blasphemy and sentenced to death by stoning. The novel explores themes of loyalty, faith, and the struggle between individual rights and the power of the state. It also provides a vivid portrayal of life in ancient Israel, including the political and religious structures of the time. Overall, In The Portion Of Jezreel is a captivating and thought-provoking read that offers a unique perspective on a well-known biblical story.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
