Give me: The request of Ahab, at first view, appears fair and honourable. But, as he most evidentially wished Naboth to alienate it finally, which was expressly forbidden and provided against in the law of God ( Lev 25:14-28), it was high iniquity in Ahab to tempt him to do it, and to covet it showed the depravity of his soul. Gen 3:6; Exo 20:17; Deu 5:21; Sa1 8:14; Jer 22:17; Hab 2:9-11; Luk 12:15; Ti1 6:9; Jam 1:14, Jam 1:15 a garden of herbs: Kg2 9:27; Deu 11:10; Ecc 2:5; Sol 4:15 seem good to thee: Heb. be good in thine eyes, Gen 16:6; Sa1 8:6, Sa1 29:6 3 Kings (1 Kings) 21:3
