2 Ahab told Naboth, |Give me your vineyard. It will become my vegetable garden because it is near my house. I will give you a better vineyard for it. Or if you prefer, I will pay you a fair price for it.| 3 Naboth told Ahab, |The LORD has forbidden me to give you what I inherited from my ancestors.| 4 Resentful and upset, Ahab went home because of what Naboth from Jezreel had told him. ( [Naboth had said,] |I will not give you what I inherited from my ancestors.|) So Ahab lay on the couch, turned his face [from everyone], and refused to eat. 1 Kings 21:2-4, God's Word Translation.
