1 Kings 21:2-4

21:2 Ahab said to Naboth, “Give me your vineyard so I can make a vegetable garden out of it, for it is adjacent to my palace. I will give you an even better vineyard in its place, or if you prefer, ¹  I will pay you silver for it.” ²  21:3 But Naboth replied to Ahab, “The Lord forbid that I should sell you my ancestral inheritance.” ³ 

21:4 So Ahab went into his palace, bitter and angry that Naboth the Jezreelite had said, ⁴  “I will not sell to you my ancestral inheritance.” ⁵  He lay down on his bed, pouted, ⁶  and would not eat.
