1. This is what happened next. Naboth from Jezreel had a vineyard in Jezreel next to the palace of King Ahab of Samaria.
2. Ahab told Naboth, “Give me your vineyard. It will become my vegetable garden because it is near my house. I will give you a better vineyard for it. Or if you prefer, I will pay you a fair price for it.”
3. Naboth told Ahab, “The Lord has forbidden me to give you what I inherited from my ancestors.”
4. Resentful and upset, Ahab went home because of what Naboth from Jezreel had told him. (⌊Naboth had said,⌋ “I will not give you what I inherited from my ancestors.”) So Ahab lay on the couch, turned his face ⌊from everyone⌋, and refused to eat.
5. His wife Jezbel came to him and asked, “Why are you so resentful of everything? Why don’t you eat?”
