1 Kings 21:1-3

New Catholic Bible

Chapter 21

Naboth’s Vineyard. ¹ After these things, it happened that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard in Jezreel near the palace of Ahab, the king of Samaria. ² Ahab said to Naboth, “Give me your vineyard so that I can use it as a vegetable garden since it is next to my palace. I will give you a better vineyard in its place, or if you prefer, I will pay you its worth in money.” ³ But Naboth said to Ahab, “The Lord forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.”
