1 Meanwhile, there was a man named Naboth from Jezreel who owned a vineyard that was located contiguous to King Ahab's palace in Samaria.

2 Ahab addressed Naboth and asked him, |I would like to plant a vegetable garden near my house. Please exchange your vineyard with a better one from me, or if you'd rather have cash, I'll buy it for its full value.|

3 But Naboth replied to Ahab, |No way! The LORD prohibits the sale to you of the inheritance of my ancestors!|
