1Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961 afterH310 theseH428 thingsH1697 that NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158 hadH1961 a vineyardH3754 whichH834 was in 1JezreelH3157 besideH681 the palaceH1964 of AhabH256, the kingH4428 of SamariaH8111. 2And AhabH256 spokeH1696 to NabothH5022, sayingH559, “2GiveH5414 me your vineyardH3754 so that I may haveH1961 it for a vegetableH3419 gardenH1588, becauseH3588 it is closeH7138 besideH681 my houseH1004, and I will giveH5414 you a betterH2896H4480 vineyardH3754 inH8478 placeH8478 ofH8478 it; ifH518 3you preferH2896H5869, I will giveH5414 you whatH4242 4it isH4242 worthH4242 in moneyH3701.” 3But NabothH5022 saidH559 to AhabH256, “The LordH3068 forbidH2486 me 5that I would giveH5414 you the inheritanceH5159 of my fathersH1!” 46So AhabH256 enteredH935 his houseH1004 sullenH5620 and furiousH2198 becauseH5921 of the 7answerH1697 that NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158 had givenH1696 to him, since he saidH559, “I will not giveH5414 you the inheritanceH5159 of my fathersH1.” And he layH7901 downH7901 on his bedH4296 and turnedH5437 his faceH6440 awayH5437, and ateH398 noH3808 8foodH3899.
