Kings III 20:2

2 And Achaab spoke to Nabuthai, saying, Give me thy vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs, for it near my house: and I will give thee another vineyard better than it; or if it please thee, I will give thee money, the price of this thy vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs.

Kings III 20:2 In-Context

1 And Nabuthai the Jezraelite had a vineyard, near the threshingfloor of Achaab king of Samaria.
2 And Achaab spoke to Nabuthai, saying, Give me thy vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs, for it near my house: and I will give thee another vineyard better than it; or if it please thee, I will give thee money, the price of this thy vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs.
3 And Nabuthai said to Achaab, My God forbid me that I should give thee the inheritance of my fathers.
4 And the spirit of Achaab was troubled, and he lay down upon his bed, and covered his face, and ate no bread.
5 And Jezabel his wife went in to him, and spoke to him, , Why thy spirit troubled, and dost thou eat no bread?
