Scripture Content

And after this Ahab said to Naboth, 'Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near my house, and I will give you a better vineyard for it; or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its value in money.' And you shall say to him, 'Thus says the Lord: Have you killed and also taken possession?' And there was none who sold himself to do what was evil in the sight of the Lord like Ahab.
