1After these things, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard in Jezreel, beside the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

2And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, so that it may become a vegetable garden for me, because it is near my house; and in its place I will give you a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good in your eyes, I will give you its price in silver.”

3But Naboth said to Ahab, “Far be it from me by Yahweh to give you the inheritance of my fathers.”
