And he laid himself down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread. 5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread? 6 And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it pleaseth thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
