"Naboth responded to him, “May the Lord be gracious to me, lest I give to you the inheritance of my fathers.” "
— 1 Kings 21:3, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And Naboth said to Ahab, The Lord forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.”
“And Naboth said to Ahab, Jehovah forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee. ”
“Naboth said to Ahab, "May Yahweh forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!"”
“But Naboth replied to Ahab,“The LORD forbid that I should sell you my ancestral inheritance.””
“Naboth answered him: The Lord be merciful to me, and not let me give thee the inheritance of my fathers.”
“But Naboth said to Ahab, By the Lord, far be it from me to give you the heritage of my fathers.”
“And Naboth said to Ahab, The Lord forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.”
And after these things, in that time, there was a vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, who was in Jezreel, beside the palace of Ahab, the king of Samaria.
Therefore, Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying: “Give your vineyard to me, so that I may make for myself a garden of herbs. For it is nearby and is beside my house. And I will give to you, in place of it, a better vineyard. Or if you consider it to be more convenient for you, I will give you the price in silver, whatever it is worth.”
Naboth responded to him, “May the Lord be gracious to me, lest I give to you the inheritance of my fathers.”
Then Ahab went into his house, angry and gnashing his teeth over the word that Naboth, the Jezreelite, had spoken to him, saying, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” And casting himself on his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and he would not eat bread.
Then Jezebel, his wife, entered to him, and she said to him: “What is this matter, by which your soul has been saddened? And why do you not eat bread?”
And he responded to her: “I spoke to Naboth, the Jezreelite, and I said to him: ‘Give your vineyard to me, and accept money. Or if it pleases you, I will give to you a better vineyard, in place of it.’ And he said, ‘I will not give my vineyard to you.’ ”
