What does 1 Kings 21:19 mean?

Go tell Ahab, 'This is what the Lord says: Have you murdered a man and stolen his land? Because of what you've done, dogs will lick up your blood in the same place where they licked up Naboth's.' 1 Kings 21:19 - Modern Text Bible

(God sends Elijah to confront Ahab for killing Naboth and taking his vineyard. The message is blunt: Ahab's own death will be just as shameful as Naboth's.)
