1 Kings 21:1-7

1And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158 had a vineyardH3754, which was in JezreelH3157, close toH681 the palaceH1964 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of SamariaH8111. 2And AhabH256 spokeH1696 to NabothH5022, sayingH559, GiveH5414 me thy vineyardH3754, that I may have it for a gardenH1588 of herbsH3419, because it is nearH7138 toH681 my houseH1004: and I will giveH5414 thee for it a betterH2896 vineyardH3754 than it; or, if it seemeth goodH2896 to theeH5869, I will giveH5414 thee the worthH4242 of it in moneyH3701.1 3And NabothH5022 saidH559 to AhabH256, The LORDH3068 forbidH2486 it me, that I should giveH5414 the inheritanceH5159 of my fathersH1 to thee. 4And AhabH256 cameH935 into his houseH1004 sadH5620 and displeasedH2198 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 laid himself downH7901 upon his bedH4296, and turned awayH5437 his faceH6440, and would eatH398 no foodH3899.

5But JezebelH348 his wifeH802 cameH935 to him, and saidH1696 to him, Why is thy spiritH7307 so sadH5620, that thou eatestH398 no foodH3899? 6And he saidH1696 to her, Because I spokeH1696 to NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158, and saidH559 to him, GiveH5414 me thy vineyardH3754 for moneyH3701; or else, if it pleasethH2655 thee, I will giveH5414 thee another vineyardH3754 for it: and he answeredH559, I will not giveH5414 thee my vineyardH3754. 7And JezebelH348 his wifeH802 saidH559 to him, Dost thou now governH6213 the kingdomH4410 of IsraelH3478? ariseH6965, and eatH398 foodH3899, and let thy heartH3820 be merryH3190: I will giveH5414 thee the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158.
