3 Mais Naboth répondit à Achab: Que l’Éternel me garde de te donner l’héritage de mes pères!

4 Achab rentra dans sa maison, triste et irrité, à cause de cette parole que lui avait dite Naboth de Jizreel: Je ne te donnerai pas l’héritage de mes pères! Et il se coucha sur son lit, détourna le visage, et ne mangea rien.

5 Jézabel, sa femme, vint auprès de lui, et lui dit: Pourquoi as-tu l’esprit triste et ne manges-tu point?

6 Il lui répondit: J’ai parlé à Naboth de Jizreel, et je lui ai dit: Cède-moi ta vigne pour de l’argent; ou, si tu veux, je te donnerai une autre vigne à la place. Mais il a dit: Je ne te donnerai pas ma vigne!

7 Alors Jézabel, sa femme, lui dit: Est-ce bien toi maintenant qui exerces la souveraineté sur Israël? Lève-toi, prends de la nourriture, et que ton cœur se réjouisse; moi, je te donnerai la vigne de Naboth de Jizreel.
