1 Kings 21:1-3

GOD’S WORD Translation

Ahab Takes Naboth’s Vineyard

21 This is what happened next. Naboth from Jezreel had a vineyard in Jezreel next to the palace of King Ahab of Samaria.

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.”
