1 Kings 21:5 in Context — 1 Kings 21

3 E Nabote respondeu a Acabe: Guarde-me o SENHOR de que eu te dê a ti a propriedade de meus pais.

4 E veio Acabe à sua casa triste e irritado, pela palavra que Nabote de Jezreel havia lhe respondido, dizendo: Não te darei a propriedade de meus pais. E deitou-se em sua cama, e virou seu rosto, e não comeu pão.

5 E veio a ele sua mulher Jezabel, e disse-lhe: Por que está tão triste teu espírito, e não comes pão?

6 E ele respondeu: Porque falei com Nabote de Jezreel, e disse-lhe que me desse sua vinha por dinheiro, ou que, se mais quisesse, eu lhe daria outra vinha por ela; e ele respondeu: Eu não te darei minha vinha.

7 E sua mulher Jezabel lhe disse: És tu agora rei sobre Israel? Levanta-te, e come pão, e alegra-te: eu te darei a vinha de Nabote de Jezreel.
