Give me: The request of Ahab, at first view, appears fair and honourable. But, as he most evidentially wished Naboth to alienate it finally, which was expressly forbidden and provided against in the law of God (Leviticus 25:14-28), it was high iniquity in Ahab to tempt him to do it, and to covet it showed the depravity of his soul. Genesis 3:6; Exodus 20:17; Deuteronomy 5:21; 1 Samuel 8:14; Jeremiah 22:17; Habakkuk 2:9-11; Luke 12:15; 1 Timothy 6:9; James 1:14-15
a garden of herbs: 2 Kings 9:27; Deuteronomy 11:10; Ecclesiastes 2:5; Song of Solomon 4:15
seem good to thee: Heb. be good in thine eyes, Genesis 16:6; 1 Samuel 8:6, 1 Samuel 29:6
