Deuteronomy 21:18-21

18Parents might have a stubborn and rebellious son who doesn’t obey them. Even though they punish him, he still won’t listen to them.

19His father and mother must take him to the leaders of the city at the city gate.

20They will say to the leaders of the city, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He won’t obey us. He eats too much and is a drunk.”

21All the men of the city should stone him to death. You must get rid of this evil. When all Israel hears about it, they will be afraid.
