Naboth (Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy)

His vineyard sat next to King Ahab's palace, and he would not sell it, because Israel's law kept family land in the family. Jezebel had false witnesses accuse him of blasphemy, he was stoned, and Ahab took the vineyard. Elijah met Ahab there and announced the end of his dynasty.

First, in plain English

His vineyard sat next to King Ahab's palace, and he would not sell it, because Israel's law kept family land in the family. Jezebel had false witnesses accuse him of blasphemy, he was stoned, and Ahab took the vineyard. Elijah met Ahab there and announced the end of his dynasty.

Who this is

Naboth was an Israelite who owned a vineyard next to King Ahab's palace and refused to sell it, since Israelite law protected ancestral land from being permanently sold outside the family. Queen Jezebel arranged false charges of blasphemy that got Naboth stoned to death so Ahab could seize the vineyard, a crime the prophet Elijah confronted directly, prophesying doom on Ahab's entire dynasty.
