1 Kings 21:2-16

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. 8So she wroteH3789 lettersH5612 in Ahab’sH256 nameH8034, and sealedH2856 them with his sealH2368, and sentH7971 the lettersH5612 to the eldersH2205 and to the noblesH2715 that were in his cityH5892, dwellingH3427 with NabothH5022. 9And she wroteH3789 in the lettersH5612, sayingH559, ProclaimH7121 a fastH6685, and setH3427 NabothH5022 on highH7218 among the peopleH5971:2 10And setH3427 twoH8147 menH582, worthlessH1100 menH1121, before him, to bear witnessH5749 against him, sayingH559, Thou didst blasphemeH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428. And then carry him outH3318, and stoneH5619 him, that he may dieH4191. 11And the menH582 of his cityH5892, even the eldersH2205 and the noblesH2715 who were the inhabitantsH3427 in his cityH5892, didH6213 as JezebelH348 had sentH7971 to them, and as it was writtenH3789 in the lettersH5612 which she had sentH7971 to them. 12They proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685, and setH3427 NabothH5022 on highH7218 among the peopleH5971. 13And there cameH935 in twoH8147 menH582, worthlessH1100 menH1121, and satH3427 before him: and the worthlessH1100 menH582 witnessedH5749 against him, even against NabothH5022, in the presence of the peopleH5971, sayingH559, NabothH5022 blasphemedH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428. Then they carried him forthH3318 outH2351 of the cityH5892, and stonedH5619 him with stonesH68, that he diedH4191. 14Then they sentH7971 to JezebelH348, sayingH559, NabothH5022 is stonedH5619, and is deadH4191. 15And it came to pass, when JezebelH348 heardH8085 that NabothH5022 was stonedH5619, and was deadH4191, that JezebelH348 saidH559 to AhabH256, AriseH6965, take possessionH3423 of the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158, which he refusedH3985 to giveH5414 thee for moneyH3701: for NabothH5022 is not aliveH2416, but deadH4191. 16And it came to pass, when AhabH256 heardH8085 that NabothH5022 was deadH4191, that AhabH256 aroseH6965 to go downH3381 to the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158, to take possessionH3423 of it.
