1 Kings 21:1-7
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.
5But JezebelH348 his wifeH802 cameH935 to him, and saidH1696 unto him, WhyH4100 is thy spiritH7307 so sad, that thou eatest no breadH3899? 6And he saidH559 unto her, Because I spake unto NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158, and saidH559 unto him, GiveH5414 me thy vineyardH3754 for moneyH3701; or else, if it please thee, I will giveH5414 thee another vineyardH3754 for it: and he answered, I will not giveH5414 thee my vineyardH3754. 7And JezebelH348 his wifeH802 saidH559 unto him, Dost thou nowH6258 govern the kingdom of IsraelH3478? ariseH6965, and eatH398 breadH3899, and let thy heartH3820 be merry: I will giveH5414 thee the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158.
