James Smethan, Naboth in his Vineyard, Tate collection, 1856

And Ahab said to Naboth, "Give me your vineyard, so that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near my house; I will give you a better vineyard for it; or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its value in money [NRSV, 1 Kings 21:2]."
