1 King 21:1-7
Naboth refused to five the inheritance of his father- the vineyard close to palace of King Israel.
Ahab went home, sullen and angry because of this, he lay o his bed sulking ad refused eat.
His wife Jezebel knew it and said,"Is this how you act as king over Israel? Get up and eat! Cheer up.I'll get your the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite."
Why?
To be a king of Israel want more vineyard, but it is the law that people can't give the inheritance of his father. This is protect the people of Israel sell their land to others or foreigner.
It is could be sold, as David bought the land of Araunah to offer sacrifices there. But Ahab was not a good king in eyes of the Lord.
To be a king of Israel should protect his people property, no to rob property of his people. Jezebel wanted to rob Naboth's vineyard by some trick.
How?
Marriage is important to a man to do good things or evil things. The heart of wife is more important than beautiful looking. Wife with wise and beautiful inside is benefit to her husband.
