1 Kings 21:8-14

8So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, sealed them with his seal and sent the letters to the elders and the nobles who were living with Naboth in his city.

9She wrote in the letters saying, “Proclaim a fast and set Naboth at the head of the people.

10Then seat two sons of Belial before him, and let them testify against him saying, ‘You cursed God and the king.’ Then take him out and stone him to death.”

11So the men of his city—the elders and the nobles who lived in his city—did just as Jezebel had bid them, just as was written in the letters that she had sent to them.

12They proclaimed a fast then seated Naboth at the head of the people.

13Then the two worthless men came in and sat before him, and the worthless men testified against him, against Naboth, before the people saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city and stoned him to death.

14Then they sent word to Jezebel saying, “Naboth has been stoned and is dead.”
