Matthew 22:2-8

4Again he sent other bondmen, saying, Say to the persons invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatted beasts are killed, and all things ready; come to the wedding feast.

6And the rest, laying hold of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew [them].

7And [when] the king [heard of it he] was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
