1 Kings 21:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

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.

⁵ His wife Jezebel came to him and asked, “Why are you so resentful of everything? Why don’t you eat?”
