Matthew Poole and continuators on 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 .

For God hath expresly, and for divers weighty reasons forbidden the alienation of Lands from the Tribes and Families to which they were allotted, Levit. 25. 15, 23, 25. Numb. 36. 7. Ezek. 46. 18. And although these might have been alienated till the Jubilee, yet he durst not [illegible: 1+ letters]ell it to the King for that time; because he supposed, that if once it came into the Kings hand, especially to be made a Garden of Pleasure, and affixed to his Palace, neither he, nor his Posterity could ever recover it again; and so he should both offend God, and wrong his Posterity; which, being as it seems, a Pious Man, he durst not do.
