列王紀上 21:2

Listen to 列王紀上 21:2
2 亞 哈 對 拿 伯 說 : 你 將 你 的 葡 萄 園 給 我 作 菜 園 , 因 為 是 靠 近 我 的 宮 ; 我 就 把 更 好 的 葡 萄 園 換 給 你 , 或 是 你 要 銀 子 , 我 就 按 著 價 值 給 你 。

列王紀上 21:2 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 21:2

And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, give me thy vineyard,
that I may have it for a garden of herbs
For a kitchen garden to produce eatables of the vegetable kind for his household, or for a flower garden; and perhaps for both, as Kimchi observes, it being customary to have such in court yards, or behind the house; perhaps he might take his notion of an herb garden from his neighbours the Syrians, who were very diligent and laborious in cultivating their gardens, as Pliny F26; hence

``multa Syrorum olera'',

the many herbs of the Syrians, became a proverb with the Greeks:

because it is near unto mine house;
lay very convenient for him:

and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it
seemeth good unto thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money;
which seems very well spoken, that he would either give him a better in exchange, or purchase it at its full value; he did not pretend to take it by usurpation, by force, against his will, as it was represented by Samuel kings would do, ( 1 Samuel 8:14 ) as yet such oppression and tyranny was not exercised.

列王紀上 21:2 In-Context

1 這 事 以 後 , 又 有 一 事 。 耶 斯 列 人 拿 伯 在 耶 斯 列 有 一 個 葡 萄 園 , 靠 近 撒 瑪 利 亞 王 亞 哈 的 宮 。
2 亞 哈 對 拿 伯 說 : 你 將 你 的 葡 萄 園 給 我 作 菜 園 , 因 為 是 靠 近 我 的 宮 ; 我 就 把 更 好 的 葡 萄 園 換 給 你 , 或 是 你 要 銀 子 , 我 就 按 著 價 值 給 你 。
3 拿 伯 對 亞 哈 說 : 我 敬 畏 耶 和 華 , 萬 不 敢 將 我 先 人 留 下 的 產 業 給 你 。
4 亞 哈 因 耶 斯 列 人 拿 伯 說 我 不 敢 將 我 先 人 留 下 的 產 業 給 你 , 就 悶 悶 不 樂 地 回 宮 , 躺 在 床 上 , 轉 臉 向 內 , 也 不 吃 飯 。
5 王 后 耶 洗 別 來 問 他 說 : 你 為 甚 麼 心 裡 這 樣 憂 悶 , 不 吃 飯 呢 ?
