Explanation preview
Ahab is speaking to his wife Jezebel in the palace at Jezreel, explaining why he lies sulking and refuses food. He has asked Naboth for a vineyard next to the palace, offering silver or a better vineyard in exchange, and Naboth refused because Israelite land was a family inheritance (Leviticus 25:23).
