    5 But Jezebel, his wife, came to him and said, Why is your spirit so bitter that you have no desire for food?

    6 And he said to her, Because I was talking to Naboth the Jezreelite, and I said to him, Let me have your vine-garden for a price, or, if it is pleasing to you, I will give you another vine-garden for it: and he said, I will not give you my vine-garden.

    14 And they sent word to Jezebel, saying, Naboth has been stoned and is dead.

    15 Then Jezebel, hearing that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, said to Ahab, Get up and take as your heritage the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he would not give you for money, for Naboth is no longer living but is dead.
