And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.

Verse 6 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.

Er sprach zu ihr: Ich habe mit Naboth, dem Jesreeliten, geredet und gesagt: Gib mir deinen Weinberg um Geld, oder, so du Lust dazu hast, will ich dir einen andern dafür geben. Er aber sprach: Ich will dir meinen Weinberg nicht geben.
Y él respondió: Porque hablé con Naboth de Jezreel, y díjele que me diera su viña por dinero, o que, si más quería, le daría otra viña por ella; y él respondió: Yo no te daré mi viña.
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!
Ed egli le disse: Perchè io avea parlato a Nabot Izreelita, e gli avea detto: Dammi la tua vigna per danari; ovvero, se così ti aggrada, io te ne darò un’altra in iscambio. Ma egli ha detto: Io non ti darò la mia vigna.
E ele lhe disse: Porque falei a Nabote, o jizreelita, e lhe disse: Dá-me a tua vinha por dinheiro; ou, se te apraz, te darei outra vinha em seu lugar. Porém ele disse: Não te darei a minha vinha.
他對王后說:「我向 耶斯列 人 拿伯 說:『把你的葡萄園按價錢賣給我,或是你願意,我可以把別的葡萄園換給你。』他卻說:『我不把我的葡萄園給你。』」
