1 And it came to pass, after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had, a vineyard, which was in Jezreel,––hard by the palace of Ahab, king of Samaria.
2 Ahab, therefore, spake unto Naboth, saying––Come! give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, for, the same, is near by my house, and let me give thee, instead thereof, a vineyard better than it,––if it be good in thine eyes, I will give thee silver to the value of this.
3 And Naboth said unto Ahab,––Far be it from me, of Yahweh! that I should give up the inheritance of my fathers, unto thee!
4 So Ahab came into his house, sullen and disturbed, because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken unto him, that he should have said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. So he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and did eat no food.
5 Then came unto him Jezebel his wife,––and said unto him––Why is it, that thy spirit is sullen, that thou art, not eating food? 6 And he said unto her––Because I spake unto Naboth, the Jezreelite, and said unto him––Come! give me thy vineyard for silver, or, if thou wouldst prefer, I will give thee a vineyard, in its stead; and he said––I will not give thee my vineyard. 7 Then Jezebel his wife said unto him: Art, thou, still, going to carry on the kingdom over Israel? Rise! eat food, and let thy heart be merry, I, will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite!
