Verse 3 is found in chapter 21 of 1 Kings. Ahab desires Naboth’s vineyard and becomes distressed when Naboth refuses to sell it because it represents the inheritance received from his ancestors. Jezebel then organizes a false trial, accuses Naboth, and secures his execution. Ahab takes possession of the vineyard. The narrative presents the abuse of royal power against a citizen defending his family inheritance. The seizure of the land turns the king’s greed into a violation of justice and property within Israel.

Nabot le respondió a Acab: «¡Jehová me libre de darte la herencia de mis antepasados!».
Mais Naboth répondit à Achab: Que l'Eternel me garde de te donner l'héritage de mes pères!
