“I asked Naboth to sell me his vineyard or trade it, but he refused!” Ahab told her.
Now there was a man named Naboth, from Jezreel, who owned a vineyard in Jezreel beside the palace of King Ahab of Samaria.
“What’s the matter?” his wife Jezebel asked him. “What’s made you so upset that you’re not eating?”
“Are you the king of Israel or not?” Jezebel demanded. “Get up and eat something, and don’t worry about it. I’ll get you Naboth’s vineyard!”
Afterward Mordecai returned to the palace gate, but Haman hurried home dejected and completely humiliated.
A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones.
