1 Kings 21:3 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

The Lord forbid — For God had expressly, and for divers weighty reasons forbidden the alienation of lands from the tribes and families to which they were allotted. And although these might have been alienated 'till the jubilee, yet he durst not sell it to the king for that time; because he supposed, if once it came into the king's hand, neither he, nor his posterity, could ever recover it; and so he should both offend God, and wrong his posterity.

1 Kings 21:3

3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
