1 Kings 21:1-4

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961 afterH310 theseH428 things, that NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158 had a vineyardH3754, whichH834 was in JezreelH3157, hard by the palaceH1964 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of SamariaH8111.

2And AhabH256 spake unto NabothH5022, sayingH559, GiveH5414 meH413 thy vineyardH3754, that I may have it for a gardenH1588 of herbs, becauseH3588 it is nearH7138 unto my houseH1004; and I will giveH5414 thee for it a betterH2896 vineyardH3754 thanH4480 it: or, ifH518 it seemH5869 goodH2896 to thee, I will giveH5414 thee the worth of it in moneyH3701.

3And NabothH5022 saidH559 to AhabH256, The LORDH3068 forbidH2486 it meH413, that I should giveH5414 the inheritanceH5159 of my fathersH1 unto thee.

4And AhabH256 cameH935 intoH413 his houseH1004 heavy and displeased becauseH5921 of the wordH1697 whichH834 NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158 had spokenH1696 to him: for he had saidH559, I will notH3808 giveH5414 thee the inheritanceH5159 of my fathersH1. And he laidH7901 him downH7901 uponH5921 his bedH4296, and turnedH5437 awayH5437 his faceH6440, and would eatH398 noH3808 breadH3899.
