Listen to 1 Reyes 21:4

1 Reyes 21:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 21:4

And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased
Just in the same humour he was after the prophet had delivered his message to him, ( 1 Kings 20:43 ) , where the same words are used as here:

because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him, for
he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers,
neither by way of exchange nor of purchase: and such a denial he could not bear, since it looked like treating him with contempt, and taxing him with imprudence at least, if not with injustice, or both:

and he laid him down upon his bed;
or couch, which might be not in his bedchamber, but in one of his halls, where his courtiers were:

and turned away his face;
to the wall, not choosing to have conversation with any of his nobles:

and would eat no bread;
the vexation took away his stomach, and he became melancholy, at least sullen.

1 Reyes 21:4 In-Context

2 Y Acab habló a Nabot, diciendo: Dame tu viña para que me sirva de huerta para hortaliza porque está cerca, al lado de mi casa, y yo te daré en su lugar una viña mejor; si prefieres, te daré su precio en dinero.
3 Pero Nabot le dijo a Acab: No permita el SEÑOR que te dé la herencia de mis padres.
4 Acab entonces se fue a su casa disgustado y molesto a causa de la palabra que Nabot de Jezreel le había dicho; pues dijo: No te daré la herencia de mis padres. Y se acostó en su cama, volvió su rostro y no comió.
5 Pero Jezabel su mujer se acercó a él, y le dijo: ¿Por qué está tu espíritu tan decaído que no comes?
6 Entonces él le respondió: Porque le hablé a Nabot de Jezreel, y le dije: "Dame tu viña por dinero; o, si prefieres, te daré una viña en su lugar." Pero él dijo: "No te daré mi viña."
