1 Kings 21:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 Then Jezebel his wife came unto him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad that thou eatest no bread?
6 And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money, or if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: but he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
7 Then Jezebel his wife said unto him, [a]Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? Up, eat bread, and [b]be of good cheer, I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
