In 1 Kings 21, we find the story of Naboth's vineyard. Ahab, the king of Israel, desired to acquire Naboth's vineyard, which was located near his palace in Jezreel. However, Naboth refused to sell his ancestral inheritance, as it was against the law and customs of Israel. Ahab was greatly disappointed and sullen because of this refusal. His wife, Jezebel, concocted a wicked scheme to falsely accuse Naboth of blasphemy, leading to his execution. As a result, Ahab seized Naboth's vineyard and took possession of it. The Lord sent Elijah the prophet to confront Ahab, declaring judgment upon him and his descendants for the evil they had committed.
