81So she wroteH3789 lettersH5612 in Ahab’sH256 nameH8034 and sealedH2856 them with his sealH2368, and sentH7971 lettersH5612 to 2the eldersH2205 and to the noblesH2715 whoH834 were livingH3427 with NabothH5022 in his cityH5892. 9Now she wroteH3789 in the lettersH5612, sayingH559, “ProclaimH7121 a fastH6685 and seatH3427 NabothH5022 at the headH7218 of the peopleH5971; 10and seatH3427 twoH8147 3worthlessH1100 menH376 beforeH5048 him, and let them testifyH5749 against him, sayingH559, ‘4You cursedH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428.’ Then takeH3318 him out and 5stoneH5619 him 6to deathH4191.”
11So the menH376 of his cityH5892, the eldersH2205 and the noblesH2715 whoH834 livedH3427 in his cityH5892, didH6213 as JezebelH348 had sentH7971 word to them, justH3512 as it was writtenH3789 in the lettersH5612 whichH834 she had sentH7971 them. 12They 7proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 and seatedH3427 NabothH5022 at the headH7218 of the peopleH5971. 13Then the twoH8147 worthlessH1100 menH376 cameH935 in and satH3427 beforeH5048 him; and the worthlessH1100 menH376 testifiedH5749 against him, even against NabothH5022, beforeH5048 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, “NabothH5022 cursedH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428.” 8So they tookH3318 him outsideH4480H2351 the cityH5892 and stonedH5619 him 9to deathH4191 with stonesH68.
