1 Kings 21:1-4

1Now it cameH1961 about afterH310 theseH428 thingsH1697 that NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158 hadH1961 a vineyardH3754 whichH834 was in 1JezreelH3157 besideH681 the palaceH1964 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of SamariaH8111. 2AhabH256 spokeH1696 to NabothH5022, sayingH559, “2GiveH5414 me your vineyardH3754, that I may haveH1961 it for a vegetableH3419 gardenH1588 becauseH3588 it is closeH7138 besideH681 my houseH1004, and I will giveH5414 you a betterH2896 vineyardH3754 thanH4480 it in its placeH8478; ifH518 3you likeH2896H5869, I will giveH5414 you the priceH4242 of 4it in moneyH3701.” 3But NabothH5022 saidH559 to AhabH256, “The LordH3068 forbidH2486 me 5that I should giveH5414 you the inheritanceH5159 of my fathersH1.” 46So AhabH256 cameH935 into his houseH1004 sullenH5620 and vexedH2198 becauseH5921 of the wordH1697 whichH834 NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158 had spokenH1696 to him; for he saidH559, “I will not giveH5414 you the inheritanceH5159 of my fathersH1.” And he layH7901 downH7901 on his bedH4296 and turnedH5437 awayH5437 his faceH6440 and ateH398 noH3808 7foodH3899.
