@1Kings:21:2 @ And Achab spoke unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that it may serve me for a herbgarden, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee in its stead a vineyard better than it; if it seem good in thy eyes, I will give thee the money, the value of the same.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:21:3 @ And Naboth said to Achab, Far be it from me before the Lord, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:21:4 @ And Achab came into his house lowspirited and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Yizreelite had spoken to him, when he said, I will not give unto thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid himself down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:21:5 @ But Izebel his wife came to him, and spoke unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad! and why eatest thou no food?
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:21:6 @ And he said unto her, Because I spoke unto Naboth the Yizreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee a vineyard in its stead; but he hath said, I will not give unto thee my vineyard.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:21:7 @ Then said unto him Izebel his wife, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, eat bread, and let thy heart be merry: I will myself give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Yizreelite.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:21:8 @ So she wrote letters in Achabs name, and sealed them with his seal; and she sent the letters unto the elders and unto the nobles who were in his city, and who dwelt near Naboth.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:21:9 @ And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit at the head of the people;
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:21:10 @ And seat two men, worthless fellows, opposite to him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou hast blasphemed God and the king; and then lead him forth, and stone him, that he may die.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:21:11 @ And the men of his city, the elders and the nobles, those who dwelt in his city, did as Izebel had sent unto them, as was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:21:12 @ They proclaimed a fast, and caused Naboth to sit at the head of the people.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:21:13 @ And there came in two men, worthless fellows, and seated themselves opposite to him; and these worthless men testified against him, against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth hath blasphemed God and the king. Then they led him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:21:14 @ And they sent to Izebel, saying, Naboth hath been stoned, and is dead.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:21:15 @ And it came to pass, when Izebel heard that Naboth had been stoned, and was dead, that Izebel said to Achab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Yizreelite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:21:16 @ And it came to pass, when Achab heard that Naboth was dead, that Achab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Yizreelite, to take possession of it.
