1 Kings 21:3-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 21
3But Naboth said to Ahab, 'The Lord forbid me that I would give you the inheritance of my fathers!' 4So Ahab entered his house sullen and furious because of the answer that Naboth the Jezreelite had given to him, since he said, 'I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.' And he lay down on his bed and turned his face away, and ate no food.
5But Jezebel his wife came to him and said to him, 'How is it that your spirit is so sullen that you are not eating food?'
6So he said to her, 'It is because I was speaking to Naboth the Jezreelite and saying to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you a vineyard in place of it.’ But he said, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’?'
King James Version
4And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
6And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
