Naboth’s Vineyard

1Now Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard in gJezreel, beside the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 2And after this Ahab said to Naboth, hGive me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near my house, and I will give you a better vineyard for it; or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its value in money.”

2 Kings 5:20-27

20 iGehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “See, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not accepting from his hand what he brought. jAs the Lord lives, I will run after him and get something from him.” 21So Gehazi followed Naaman. And when Naaman saw someone running after him, he got down from the chariot to meet him and said, k“Is all well?” 22And he said, “All is well. My master has sent me to say, ‘There have just now come to me from lthe hill country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets. Please give them a talent of silver and mtwo changes of clothing.’” 23And Naaman said, n“Be pleased to accept two talents.” And he urged him and tied up two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants. And they carried them before Gehazi. 24And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand and put them in the house, and he sent the men away, and they departed. 25He went in and stood before his master, and Elisha said to him, “Where have you been, Gehazi?” And he said, “Your servant went nowhere.” 26But he said to him, “Did not my heart go when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Was it a time to accept money and garments, olive orchards and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male servants and female servants? 27Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and to your descendants forever.” So he went out from his presence oa leper, like snow.
