1 Kings 21:5 Context
3And Naboth said to Ahab, The Lord forbid it mee, that I should giue the inheritance of my fathers vnto thee. 4And Ahab came into his house, heauie, and displeased, because of the word which Naboth the Iezreelite had spoken to him: for he had saide, I will not giue thee the inheritance of my fathers: and he laid him downe vpon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eate no bread. 5¶ But Iezebel his wife came to him, and said vnto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread? 6And he said vnto her, Because I spake vnto Naboth the Iezreelite, and said vnto him, Giue mee thy vineyard for money, or else if it please thee, I will giue thee another vineyard for it: And he answered, I wil not giue thee my vineyard. 7And Iezebel his wife saide vnto him, Doest thou now gouerne the kingdome of Israel? Arise, and eate bread, and let thine heart bee merrie: I will giue thee the vineyard of Naboth the Iezreelite.
