2And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.

5But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
