Answer Details
Naboth would not give the vineyard to Ahab because it was inherited from his father. In the story in the book of 1 Kings, Naboth was the owner of a vineyard that was next to Ahab's palace, and Ahab wanted to buy it or exchange it for a better vineyard. However, Naboth refused to sell or trade it because it was his family inheritance and against the Jewish law to sell one's ancestral property. This made Ahab angry, and he eventually had Naboth falsely accused and executed to take over his land.
