  • A It was expensive
  • B Ahab was a terrible king
  • C It was his family's inheritance
  • D It was his only source of income
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
1 Kings 21:1-16 states that Naboth owned a vineyard, in proximity to King Ahab's palace in the city of Jezreel. Because of this, Ahab desired to acquire the vineyard so that he could use it for a vegetable (or herb) garden. Since he inherited the land from his ancestors, Naboth refused to sell it to Ahab.
