1 Kings 21:1-3

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

Naboth’s Vineyard

21 Later the following events took place: Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard in Jezreel, beside the palace of King Ahab of Samaria. ² And Ahab said to Naboth, ‘Give me your vineyard, so that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near my house; I will give you a better vineyard for it; or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its value in money.’ ³ But Naboth said to Ahab, ‘The Lord forbid that I should give you my ancestral inheritance.’
