1 Kings 21:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

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.

⁵ Then his wife Jezebel came to him and said, “Why is your spirit so sullen, and why don’t you eat?”
