Correct Answer
D
Explanation
Inking Ahab's palace in Jezreel there was a vineyard owned by a man named Naboth. One day Ahab said to Naboth, let me have your vineyard. It is close to my palace, and I want to use the land for a vegetable garden. I will give you a better vineyard for it. Naboth replied, the Lord forbid that I should let you have it! Ahab went home depressed and angry over what Naboth had said to him. Jezebel wrote some letters, signed them with Ahab's name, sealed them with his seal, and sent them to the officials and leading citizens of Jezreel. The letters said, proclaim a day of fasting, call the people together, and give Naboth the place of honour. Get a couple of scoundrels to accuse him to his face of cursing God and the king. 1 Kings 21:1-29
