1 Kings 21:2

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.

And Ahab {H256} spake {H1696} unto Naboth {H5022}, saying {H559}, Give {H5414} me thy vineyard {H3754}, that I may have it for a garden {H1588} of herbs {H3419}, because it is near {H7138} unto {H681} my house {H1004}: and I will give {H5414} thee for it a better {H2896} vineyard {H3754} than it; or, if it seem good {H2896} to thee {H5869}, I will give {H5414} thee the worth {H4242} of it in money {H3701}.

Ach'av spoke to Navot and said, "Give me your vineyard, so that I can have it as my vegetable garden, because it's close to my palace. In exchange I will give you a better vineyard; or, if you prefer, I will give you its monetary value."

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.”

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.
