John Gill Commentary 1 Kings 21:6

"And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee [another] vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard." — 1 Kings 21:6 (ASV)

And he said, because I spoke unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and
said unto him, give me your vineyard for money
Sell it him at his own price:

or else, if it please you ;
if he liked it better:

I will give you another vineyard for it; as good, or better; and he
answered, I will not give you my vineyard ;
he represents this answer as surly and ill natured, and as the effect of obstinacy, concealing the reason
Naboth alleged for his denial.
