What does 1 Kings 21:2 mean?

Ahab said to Naboth, 'Let me have your vineyard so I can use it for a vegetable garden, since it’s right next to my house. I’ll give you a better vineyard in exchange, or if you prefer, I’ll pay you whatever it’s worth.' 1 Kings 21:2 - Modern Text Bible

(Ahab wants Naboth’s vineyard for his own use and offers a fair deal—either a better vineyard or money.)
