1 Kings 21:7-15

7“Are you the king of Israel or not?” Jezebel demanded. “Get up and eat something, and don’t worry about it. I’ll get you Naboth’s vineyard!”

8So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, sealed them with his seal, and sent them to the elders and other leaders of the town where Naboth lived.

9In her letters she commanded: “Call the citizens together for a time of fasting, and give Naboth a place of honor.

10And then seat two scoundrels across from him who will accuse him of cursing God and the king. Then take him out and stone him to death.”

11So the elders and other town leaders followed the instructions Jezebel had written in the letters.

12They called for a fast and put Naboth at a prominent place before the people.

13Then the two scoundrels came and sat down across from him. And they accused Naboth before all the people, saying, “He cursed God and the king.” So he was dragged outside the town and stoned to death.

14The town leaders then sent word to Jezebel, “Naboth has been stoned to death.”

15When Jezebel heard the news, she said to Ahab, “You know the vineyard Naboth wouldn’t sell you? Well, you can have it now! He’s dead!”
