1 Kings 21:7-13

7And JezebelH348 his wifeH802 saidH559 unto him, Dost thou nowH6258 govern the kingdomH4410 of IsraelH3478? ariseH6965, and eatH398 breadH3899, and letH5414 thine heartH3820 be merryH3190: I will giveH5414 thee the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158.

8SoH7971 sheH834 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, and that dweltH3427 with NabothH5022.

9And sheH7121 wroteH3789 in the lettersH5612, sayingH559, ProclaimH7121 a fastH6685, and setH3427 NabothH5022 on high among the peopleH5971:

10and setH3427 twoH8147 menH376, sonsH1121 of Belial, beforeH5048 him, and let them bear witness againstH5048 him, sayingH559, Thou didst curseH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428. And then carryH3318 him outH3318, and stoneH5619 him, that he dieH4191.

11And the menH376 of his cityH5892, evenH6213 the eldersH2205 and the noblesH2715 who dweltH3427 in his cityH5892, didH6213 as JezebelH348 had sentH7971 unto them, accordingH413 as it was writtenH3789 in the lettersH5612 whichH834 sheH834 had sentH7971 unto them.

12They proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685, and setH3427 NabothH5022 on high among the peopleH5971.

13And the twoH8147 menH376, sonsH1121 of Belial, cameH935 in and satH3427 beforeH5048 him: and the menH376 of Belial bare witness againstH5048 him, evenH853 againstH5048 NabothH5022, in the presenceH5048 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559, NabothH5022 didH376 curseH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428. Then they carriedH935 him forthH3318 outH3318 of the cityH5892, and stonedH5619 him with stonesH68, that he diedH4191.
