1 And after these things, in that time, there was a vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, who was in Jezreel, beside the palace of Ahab, the king of Samaria.
2 Therefore, Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying: 'Give your vineyard to me, so that I may make for myself a garden of herbs. For it is nearby and is beside my house. And I will give to you, in place of it, a better vineyard. Or if you consider it to be more convenient for you, I will give you the price in silver, whatever it is worth.'
3 Naboth responded to him, 'May the Lord be gracious to me, lest I give to you the inheritance of my fathers.'
