    1Now Naboth the Jezreelite had a vine-garden in Jezreel, near the house of Ahab, king of Samaria.

    2And Ahab said to Naboth, Give me your vine-garden so that I may have it for a garden of sweet plants, for it is near my house; and let me give you a better vine-garden in exchange, or, if it seems good to you, let me give you its value in money.

    3But Naboth said to Ahab, By the Lord, far be it from me to give you the heritage of my fathers.

    4So Ahab came into his house bitter and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had said to him, I will not give you the heritage of my fathers. And stretching himself on the bed with his face turned away, he would take no food.

    9And in the letter she said, Let a time of public sorrow be fixed, and put Naboth at the head of the people;
