NASB
"But Jezebel his wife came to him and said to him, "How is it that your spirit is so sullen that you are not eating food?""
— 1 Kings 21:5, NASB
“But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?”
“But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread? ”
“But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, "Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?"”
“Then his wife Jezebel came in and said to him,“Why do you have a bitter attitude and refuse to eat?””
“And Jezabel, his wife, went in to him, and said to him: What is the matter that thy soul is so grieved? and why eatest thou no bread?”
“But Jezebel, his wife, came to him and said, Why is your spirit so bitter that you have no desire for food?”
“But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?”
Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, "Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden because it is close beside my house, and I will give you a better vineyard than it in its place; if you like, I will give you the price of it in money."
But Naboth said to Ahab, "The LORD forbid me that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers."
So Ahab came into his house sullen and vexed because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he said, "I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers." And he lay down on his bed and turned away his face and ate no food.
But Jezebel his wife came to him and said to him, "How is it that your spirit is so sullen that you are not eating food?"
So he said to her, "Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and said to him, 'Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you a vineyard in its place.' But he said, 'I will not give you my vineyard.'"
Jezebel his wife said to him, "Do you now reign over Israel? Arise, eat bread, and let your heart be joyful; I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite."
So she wrote letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal, and sent letters to the elders and to the nobles who were living with Naboth in his city.
