 His wife, Jezebel, came to him and said to him, Why are you so angry that you will not eat? He answered her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and said to him, Sell me your vineyard, or if you prefer, I'll give you a vineyard in exchange. But he refused to let me have his vineyard. A fine ruler over Israel you are indeed, his wife Jezebel said to him. Get up and eat and be cheerful. I will obtain the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite for you.
