1 Kings 21:1-4

1And it came to pass after these thingsH1697, that NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158 had a vineyardH3754, which wasH1961 in JezreelH3157, hard by the palaceH1964 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of SamariaH8111. 2And AhabH256 spake unto NabothH5022, sayingH559, GiveH5414 me thy vineyardH3754, that I may have it for a gardenH1588 of herbs, because it is near unto my houseH1004; and I will giveH5414 thee for it a betterH2896 vineyardH3754 than it: or, if it seem goodH2896 to thee, I will giveH5414 thee the worth of it in moneyH3701. 3And NabothH5022 saidH559 to AhabH256, Jehovah forbid it me, that I should giveH5414 the inheritanceH5159 of my fathersH1 unto thee. 4And AhabH256 cameH935 into his houseH1004 heavy and displeased because of the wordH1697 which NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158 had spokenH1696 to him; for he had saidH559, I will not giveH5414 thee the inheritanceH5159 of my fathersH1. And he laidH7901 him downH7901 upon his bedH4296, and turnedH5437 awayH5437 his faceH6440, and would eatH398 no breadH3899.
