- 1 Kings 21:1 Now there was a man named Naboth, from Jezreel, who owned a vineyard in Jezreel beside the palace of King Ahab of Samaria.
- 1 Kings 21:2 One day Ahab said to Naboth, “Since your vineyard is so convenient to my palace, I would like to buy it to use as a vegetable garden. I will give you a better vineyard in exchange, or if you prefer, I will pay you for it.”
- 1 Kings 21:3 But Naboth replied, “The Lord forbid that I should give you the inheritance that was passed down by my ancestors.”
- 1 Kings 21:4 So Ahab went home angry and sullen because of Naboth’s answer. The king went to bed with his face to the wall and refused to eat!
- 1 Kings 21:6 “I asked Naboth to sell me his vineyard or trade it, but he refused!” Ahab told her.
- 1 Kings 21:7 “Are you the king of Israel or not?” Jezebel demanded. “Get up and eat something, and don’t worry about it. I’ll get you Naboth’s vineyard!”
