1 Kings 21:2-4

Evangelical Heritage Version

² Ahab said to Naboth, “Give me your vineyard so I can use it as a vegetable garden, because it is beside my house, and I will give you a better vineyard in exchange. Or if you prefer, I will give you the purchase price in silver.”

³ But Naboth said to Ahab, “May I be cursed by the Lord, if I were to give you the inheritance from my fathers.”

⁴ Ahab went to his house sullen and angry because of what Naboth from Jezre’el had said to him, for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” Ahab lay down on his bed and turned his face away and would not eat anything.
