1 Kings 21:1-3

Modern English Version

Naboth’s Vineyard

21 Now Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard in Jezreel right by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. ² And after this Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, so that I can have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near to my house, and I will give you a better vineyard for it, or if you prefer, I will give you its worth in money.”

³ Naboth said to Ahab, “The Lord forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.”
