He laid him down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread. 021:005 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread? 021:006 He said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it please you, I will give you [another] vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give you my vineyard. 021:007 Jezebel his wife said to him, Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry: I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. 021:008 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, [and] who lived with Naboth. 021:009 She wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people: 021:010 and set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, You did curse God and the king.
