Naboth's vineyard seized
Naboth refused to surrender his ancestral inheritance, so Jezebel arranged false testimony and his execution. Ahab took the vineyard, but Elijah met him there and pronounced judgment; when Ahab humbled himself, the announced disaster was delayed until his son's days (1 Kings 21:1-29).

📖 1 Kings 21:1–3
1Some time later, Naboth the Jezreelite happened to own a vineyard in Jezreel next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 2So Ahab said to Naboth, “Give me your vineyard to use as a vegetable garden, since it is next to my palace. I will give you a better vineyard in its place—or if you prefer, I will give you its value in silver.” 3But Naboth replied, “The LORD forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.”
