1 Kings 21:7-15

7And JezebelH348 his wifeH802 saidH559 unto him, Dost thou now governH6213 the kingdomH4410 of IsraelH3478? ariseH6965, and eatH398 breadH3899, and let thine heartH3820 be merryH3190: I will giveH5414 thee the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158. 8So she wroteH3789 lettersH5612 in Ahab’sH256 nameH8034, and sealedH2856 them with his sealH2368, and sentH7971 the lettersH5612 unto the eldersH2205 and to the noblesH2715 that were in his cityH5892, dwellingH3427 with NabothH5022. 9And she wroteH3789 in the lettersH5612, sayingH559, ProclaimH7121 a fastH6685, and setH3427 NabothH5022 on highH7218 among the peopleH5971:1 10And setH3427 twoH8147 menH582, sonsH1121 of BelialH1100, before him, to bear witnessH5749 against him, sayingH559, Thou didst blasphemeH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428. And then carry him outH3318, and stoneH5619 him, that he may dieH4191. 11And the menH582 of his cityH5892, even the eldersH2205 and the noblesH2715 who were the inhabitantsH3427 in his cityH5892, didH6213 as JezebelH348 had sentH7971 unto them, and as it was writtenH3789 in the lettersH5612 which she had sentH7971 unto them. 12They proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685, and setH3427 NabothH5022 on highH7218 among the peopleH5971. 13And there cameH935 in twoH8147 menH582, childrenH1121 of BelialH1100, and satH3427 before him: and the menH582 of BelialH1100 witnessedH5749 against him, even against NabothH5022, in the presence of the peopleH5971, sayingH559, NabothH5022 did blasphemeH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428. Then they carried him forthH3318 outH2351 of the cityH5892, and stonedH5619 him with stonesH68, that he diedH4191. 14Then they sentH7971 to JezebelH348, sayingH559, NabothH5022 is stonedH5619, and is deadH4191.

15And it came to pass, when JezebelH348 heardH8085 that NabothH5022 was stonedH5619, and was deadH4191, that JezebelH348 saidH559 to AhabH256, AriseH6965, take possessionH3423 of the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158, which he refusedH3985 to giveH5414 thee for moneyH3701: for NabothH5022 is not aliveH2416, but deadH4191.
