1 Kings 21:5-7

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁵ Then his wife Jezebel came to him and said to him, ‘Why are you so upset that you refuse to eat? ’

⁶ ‘Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite,’ he replied. ‘I told him, “Give me your vineyard for silver, or if you wish, I will give you a vineyard in its place.” But he said, “I won’t give you my vineyard! ” ’

⁷ Then his wife Jezebel said to him, ‘Now, exercise your royal power over Israel. Get up, eat some food, and be happy. For I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.’^(A)
