1 Kings 21:4-7 ▼

4 So Ahab came into his house sullen and vexed because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he said, |I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.| And he lay down on his bed and turned away his face and ate no food.

5 But Jezebel his wife came to him and said to him, |How is it that your spirit is so sullen that you are not eating food?|

6 So he said to her, |Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and said to him, 'Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you a vineyard in its place.' But he said, 'I will not give you my vineyard.'|

7 Jezebel his wife said to him, |Do you now reign over Israel? Arise, eat bread, and let your heart be joyful; I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.|
