1 Kings 21:15

And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.

KJV

Factum est autem, cum audisset Jezabel lapidatum Naboth et mortuum, locuta est ad Achab : Surge, et posside vineam Naboth Jezrahelitæ, qui noluit tibi acquiescere, et dare eam accepta pecunia : non enim vivit Naboth, sed mortuus est.

Vulgate

καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο Ἀχαὰβ τοὺς ἄρχοντας, τὰ παιδάρια τῶν χορῶν, καὶ ἐγένετο διακόσια καὶ τριάκοντα· καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐπεσκέψατο τὸν λαόν, πᾶν υἱὸν δυνάμεως, ἑξήκοντα.

LXX

And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
