  1. Who:
  • Naboth

  • the Lord (speaking to Elijah)
  • two worthless men
  1. What:

Naboth had a vineyard that Ahab wanted to acquire or himself through either a purchase or trade. Naboth refused to sell or trade his land and told Ahab, “the Lord forbid me…”

Naboth’s vineyard was his inheritance. The inheritance Naboth is referencing refers to the way that the Israelites inherited the land through the allocation of land by God in the book of Joshua. It was to remain with the family and tribe in perpetuity. Therefore, Naboth was forbidden by God to sell his land.

Naboth’s vineyard was also agriculture property. According to Old Testament law farmland could only exchange hands through a limited-lease situation. Land could be leased until the year of Jubilee. Therefore, Naboth was forbidden by God to sell or trade it because of Old Testament law.

Ahab’s sulks because he cannot get what he wants.

Jezebel schemes to have Naboth killed so that Ahab can claim the land that he

would not sell or trade. Her plan works and Naboth is murdered.

Ahab goes to Naboth’s vineyard to seize it but is met by Elijah who delivers God’s message of judgment on both Ahab and Jezebel.

  1. Where:
  • Naboth’s Vineyard

  1. Why:

Why is Naboth forbidden (The Lord forbid…) to sell his vineyard?

It is the inheritance of his ancestors.

Why did Queen Jezebel device a scheme to have Naboth murdered?

The scheme would give her husband, King Ahab, Naboth’s vineyard.

Why did God not immediately punish Ahab?

Ahab humbled himself before God and so go relented on the immediate nature of His punishment.

  1. How:

How did Queen Jezebel’s plan unfold?

She had two scoundrels (worthless men) lie about Naboth’s actions of cursing both God and king.

How did God confront the evil actions of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel?

God sent Elijah to confront the King and pronounce His judgment on both the king and queen.

  1. Interpretation
  1. Determine the author’s main point. In 1–2 paragraphs (100–400 words) explain what you think the author is trying to communicate in this passage. Remember, the Old Testament narratives frequently communicate truth by showing it to us in story form instead of telling it to us by way of teaching or sermon. See EBS ch. 28.

The story of Naboth’s vineyard emphasizes the reality that God, hears, sees, and knows of the suffering his people endure. He does not distant and disinterested in the plight of his children. He is a God of justice and will punish the oppressors, regardless of their position. Both King Ahab and Queen Jezebel faced the wrath of God for their sins that led to the death of Naboth. This narrative also highlights the repeated temptation pattern of “see” and “take” resulting in destruction (Adam & Eve, David & Bathsheba, etc.). Human beings continue to give in to temptation that leads to the suffering and destruction of others. It is to this suffering and destruction that God responds with His justice.

  1. Based on your answer above, write out one principle from this passage. You should be able to express this principle in 1-3 sentences. See EBS ch. 33.

God is a God of justice. He will not tolerate evil and he will hold responsible those who commit acts of injustice. Those who suffer can take comfort in knowing a just God rules the world.

III. Correlation

  1. How does this Old Testament narrative fit within the metanarrative of the Bible? State what type of story you believe this to be (creation, fall, redemption, or new creation) and explain why you believe this to be so. Your explanation should be 1 paragraph (100–200 words) in length. See EBS chs. 1–6.

The story of Naboth’s vineyard fits within the “fall” theme of the metanarrative of the Bible. This story highlights the rebellious, sinful, and wicked actions of human beings who willingly choose to disobey God’s laws. Jezebel disregards both reasons why God had forbidden the selling or trading of land in His laws. Further, she is also guilty of breaking God’s law with regards to murder and testifying falsely against a neighbor. While it is easy to identify the ways in which Jezebel is a law breaker, it should be noted that Ahab is also guilty of breaking God’s law. Ahab is also guilty of breaking God’s law. In desiring something that was not his (Naboth’s vineyard), Ahab had coveted something that belonged to his neighbor.

  1. How does your principle fit with the rest of the Scripture? This principle is the one you have written out in 1-3 sentences in the Interpretation section. If your principle is a true Biblical principle it will be reflected throughout the Scriptures. Where is the principle discovered in this Old Testament narrative found elsewhere in the Scriptures? Your explanation should be 1 paragraph (100-200 words) in length. See EBS ch. 29.

We live in a fallen and rebellious world. This reality results in the suffering of individuals. In this case, Naboth suffered at the hands of a rebellious and wicked queen. However, like the Exodus narrative, God, heard, saw, and knew of the suffering of the Israelites. In this passage God heard, saw, and knew Naboth’s suffering. Like His execution of judgment on the Egyptians, God executes justice on both Jezebel and Ahab. While they may have felt like their actions were concealed, God saw them. While they may have believed they got away with their sin because God’s justice was delayed, God would not let evil go unpunished.

  1. How does this Old Testament narrative reflect the person and work of Jesus Christ? State and explain at least one way that the principle of this narrative can be identified in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Your explanation should be 1 paragraph (100–200 words) in length. See EBS ch. 30.

Paul writes in Philippians, “You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross” (Phil 2:5-8 NLT). While Naboth offers us a glimpse of someone who is unjustly suffering, in Christ Jesus we see the true picture of a righteous sufferer. Jesus’s life was not one devoid of suffering. Instead, his life was one of suffering that culminated with the ultimate suffering of crucifixion. However, it was through Christ’s suffering that God responded to what he heard, saw, and knew of his people’s suffering. It was through the cross of Christ that God rescued human beings from their eternal suffering.

  1. Application

What points of application can be made using the Four Questions for Application (EBS ch. 31)? State and explain 1 point of application for each of these four questions. Your explanation for each of these points should be 1 paragraph (100–200 words) in length.

  1. The question of duty

We have the responsibility of taking care of our neighbors. This is something both the Old and New Testament specifically address. In the Old Testament, the Israelites were commanded to be honest, provide justice for all of their neighbors, and to love their neighbors as themselves (Lev. 19:11-18). In the New Testament, Jesus told the parable of the good Samaritan in order to highlight what being neighborly looked like. The expert in the law asked Jesus the question, “Who is my neighbor?” The answer Jesus provides through the parable does not answer that question and instead poses a question of “Are you neighborly?” The duty to take care of your neighbors is one that the two scoundrels who lied about Naboth refused to uphold. We ought to refuse treating our neighbors as they treated Naboth and instead follow the commands of God and love our neighbors as we love ourselves.

  1. The question of character

Through the examples of Jezebel and Ahab we see the kind of character we should avoid. These are two people who have complete disregard for the laws of God. To that end, they are guilty of coveting, lying, and murder. However, through the example of Naboth we see the kind of character we should develop. Naboth follows God’s law and will not sell or trade his land because he knows that it is an inheritance given to him by God through his ancestors. It would have been easy for him to earn some extra money or perhaps even political favor by breaking the law of God. Instead, he simply affirms the law of God and holds to it. He will not let monetary or personal gain at the expense of breaking God’s laws dictate his decisions.

  1. The question of goals

The queen’s plan involved two wicked men and the elders and nobles of Naboth’s city. This group of people went along with Queen Jezebel so that Naboth would be unjustly tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. These men had the opportunity to pursue justice and righteousness so that city life conformed to God’s plans. If these men had set their focus on Godly aims they would have sided with God’s laws and Naboth instead of the schemes of the wicked queen. We out to make it our goal to pursue a life of Godliness where what we chase after lines up with what God has commanded instead of wicked schemes designed for the pursuit of forbidden desires.

  1. The question of discernment

There are power systems in this world that are set up to oppress others and take advantage of those who have something desirable. However, these systems do not go unnoticed by the eyes of God. Instead of being an oppressor of the sufferer, He is the one who executes judgment on those who contribute to and cause the suffering of human beings. To that end, we should seek to discern where we can be the voice of God for those who are suffering through actions of justice. These just actions will be characterized by integrity, honesty, and uprightness. When these types of attributes represent our response to suffering and injustice we are demonstrating the character of our God who is a God of righteousness and justice.

NURS 6052: Essentials of Evidence-Based Practice course schedule (FULL COURSE HELP)

Discussion: Where in the World Is Evidence-Based Practice?

March 21, 2010, was not EBP’s date of birth, but it may be the date the approach “grew up” and left home to take on the world.
When the Affordable Care Act was passed, it came with a requirement of empirical evidence. Research on EBP increased significantly. Application of EBP spread to allied health professions, education, healthcare technology, and more. Health organizations began to adopt and promote EBP.
In this Discussion, you will consider this adoption. You will examine healthcare organization websites and analyze to what extent these organizations use EBP.

Assignment Evidence-Based Practice and the Quadruple Aim

Healthcare organizations continually seek to optimize healthcare performance. For years, this approach was a three-pronged one known as the Triple Aim, with efforts focused on improved population health, enhanced patient experience, and lower healthcare costs.
More recently, this approach has evolved to a Quadruple Aim by including a focus on improving the work-life of healthcare providers. Each of these measures are impacted by decisions made at the organizational level, and organizations have increasingly turned to EBP to inform and justify these decisions

Quiz: Is It Quantitative, Qualitative, or Mixed Methods?

An effective understanding and application of research requires an understanding of the underlying methodologies employed. This quiz will assess your understanding of the quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method research methodologies.

Assignment: Evidence-Based Project, Part 1: Identifying Research Methodologies

Is there a difference between “common practice” and “best practice”?

When you first went to work for your current organization, experienced colleagues may have shared with you details about processes and procedures. Perhaps you even attended an orientation session to brief you on these matters. As a “rookie,” you likely kept the nature of your questions to those with answers that would best help you perform your new role.

Over time and with experience, perhaps you recognized aspects of these processes and procedures that you wanted to question further. This is the realm of clinical inquiry.

Clinical inquiry is the practice of asking questions about clinical practice. To continuously improve patient care, all nurses should consistently use clinical inquiry to question why they are doing something the way they are doing it. Do they know why it is done this way, or is it just because we have always done it this way? Is it a common practice or a best practice?

In this Assignment, you will identify clinical areas of interest and inquiry and practice searching for research in support of maintaining or changing these practices. You will also analyze this research to compare research methodologies employed.

Discussion: Searching Databases

When you decide to purchase a new car, you first decide what is important to you. If mileage and dependability are the important factors, you will search for data focused more on these factors and less on color options and sound systems.
The same holds true when searching for research evidence to guide your clinical inquiry and professional decisions. Developing a formula for an answerable, researchable question that addresses your need will make the search process much more effective. One such formula is the PICO(T) format.
In this Discussion, you will transform a clinical inquiry into a searchable question in PICO(T) format, so you can search the electronic databases more effectively and efficiently. You will share this PICO(T) question and examine strategies you might use to increase the rigor and effectiveness of a database search on your PICO(T) question.

Assignment: Evidence-Based Project, Part 2: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews

Your quest to purchase a new car begins with an identification of the factors important to you. As you conduct a search of cars that rate high on those factors, you collect evidence and try to understand the extent of that evidence. A report that suggests a certain make and model of automobile has high mileage is encouraging. But who produced that report? How valid is it? How was the data collected, and what was the sample size?

In this Assignment, you will delve deeper into clinical inquiry by closely examining your PICO(T) question. You also begin to analyze the evidence you have collected.

Assignment: Evidence-Based Project, Part 3: Critical Appraisal of Research

Realtors rely on detailed property appraisals—conducted using appraisal tools—to assign market values to houses and other properties. These values are then presented to buyers and sellers to set prices and initiate offers.

Research appraisal is not that different. The critical appraisal process utilizes formal appraisal tools to assess the results of research to determine value to the context at hand. Evidence-based practitioners often present these findings to make the case for specific courses of action.

In this Assignment, you will use an appraisal tool to conduct a critical appraisal of published research. You will then present the results of your efforts.

Discussion: Developing a Culture of Evidence-Based Practice

As your EBP skills grow, you may be called upon to share your expertise with others. While EBP practice is often conducted with unique outcomes in mind, EBP practitioners who share their results can both add to the general body of knowledge and serve as an advocate for the application of EBP.
In this Discussion, you will explore strategies for disseminating EBP within your organization, community, or industry.

Discussion: Patient Preferences and Decision Making

Changes in culture and technology have resulted in patient populations that are often well informed and educated, even before consulting or considering a healthcare need delivered by a health professional. Fueled by this, health professionals are increasingly involving patients in treatment decisions. However, this often comes with challenges, as illnesses and treatments can become complex. What has your experience been with patient involvement in treatment or healthcare decisions?
In this Discussion, you will share your experiences and consider the impact of patient involvement (or lack of involvement). You will also consider the use of a patient decision aid to inform best practices for patient care and healthcare decision making.
Assignment Evidence-Based Project, Part 4: Recommending an Evidence Based Practice Change
The collection of evidence is an activity that occurs with an endgame in mind. For example, law enforcement professionals collect evidence to support a decision to charge those accused of criminal activity. Similarly, evidence-based healthcare practitioners collect evidence to support decisions in pursuit of specific healthcare outcomes.

In this Assignment, you will identify an issue or opportunity for change within your healthcare organization and propose an idea for a change in practice supported by an EBP approach

Healthcare Laws 5 Components of HIPAA

There are many changes occurring within healthcare in the United States. The major reasons why the healthcare system is undergoing dramatic revision and reform have to do with the number of uninsured, and/or underinsured, individuals and the cost of healthcare. This healthcare reform is centered around broad categories of change:

  • Increasing the population of individuals receiving health care insurance coverage.
  • Increasing the number of health care providers available to the public.
  • Improving access to specialists providing health care.
  • Improving the quality of health care.
  • Decreasing the cost of health care goods and services.
  • Patient privacy

Because these reforms will impact you daily as a coder or billing specialist, having a thorough understanding of them is important. Title II will be the most impactful on you as a professional in healthcare and should include the most detail of the five components.

By using the Figure 5-5, on page 129 of your text, review the five titles/components of HIPAA

Determine the significance of the regulatory considerations for the Health Insurance Specialist.

Include the following aspects in the assignment:

  • Provide a brief summary describing the purpose of Titles l, Ill, IV and V.
  • Discuss topics on Title II by expanding on:
    • PHI
    • The difference between fraud and abuse
    • Upcoding, downcoding and unbundling
    • The meaning of the identifiers EIN, NPI, and HPID (If you cannot remember from the course material a quick google search will help “medical term EIN”, etc.)

Note: You do not need to cover any specific information about the code sets. Use APA formatting for your paper.
