1 Kings 21:6

Conservative English Version

"I asked Naboth to sell me his vineyard or to let me give him a better one," Ahab replied. "And he told me I couldn't have it."

See the chapter Copy

Naboth owned a vineyard in Jezreel near King Ahab's palace.

Jezebel his wife came in and asked, "What's wrong? Why won't you eat?"

"Aren't you the king of Israel?" Jezebel asked. "Get out of bed and eat something! Don't worry, I'll get Naboth's vineyard for you."

Afterwards, Mordecai returned to his duties at the palace gate, and Haman hurried home, hiding his face in shame.

It's healthy to be content, but envy can eat you up.
