And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread — Ahab's response is childish and self-pitying. The phrase shows him sulking like a spoiled child denied a toy. His refusal to eat reflects his loss of appetite over a minor disappointment.
