1 Kings 21:2
Ahabu akamwambia Nabothi, akisema, “Nipe shamba lako, ili nilifanye kuwa bustani ya mboga, kwa sababu iko karibu na nyumba yangu. Badala yake nitakupa shamba zuri la mizabibu, au, kama ukipenda nitakulipa thamani yake kwa fedha.”

1 Kings 21:2 in other translations
And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
So Ahab said to Naboth, “Give me your vineyard to use as a vegetable garden, since it is next to my palace. I will give you a better vineyard in its place—or if you prefer, I will give you its value in silver.”

In context
1 Basi ikawa baada ya hayo, Nabothi Myezreeli alikuwa na shamba la mizabibu kule Yezreeli, karibu na ikulu ya Ahabu, mfalme wa Samaria.
2 Ahabu akamwambia Nabothi, akisema, “Nipe shamba lako, ili nilifanye kuwa bustani ya mboga, kwa sababu iko karibu na nyumba yangu. Badala yake nitakupa shamba zuri la mizabibu, au, kama ukipenda nitakulipa thamani yake kwa fedha.”
3 Nabothi akamjibu Ahabu, “BWANA na alizuie hilo nisije nikatoa urithi wa mababu zangu kwako.”
4 Ahabu akaingia kwenye ikulu yake akiwa mchovu na mwenye hasira kwa sababu ya jibu ambalo Nabothi Myezreeli alimpa aliposema, “Sitakupa urithi wa mababu zangu.” Akalala kitandani kwake, akiwa amegeuza uso wake upande ule, na akagoma kula chakula chochote.
5 Yezebeli mke wake akaiingia kwake, akamwambia “Kwa nini moyo wako una huzuni, kiasi kwamba hutaki kula?”
