* And Jezebel his wife said unto him , Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel Yisra #el #? arise , and eat bread , and let thine heart be merry : I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite Yizr @#e #liy #. * So she wrote letters in Ahabs #Ach #ab # name , and sealed them with his seal , and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city , dwelling with Naboth . * And she wrote in the letters , saying , Proclaim a fast , and set Naboth on high among the people : * And set two men , sons of Belial b @liya #al #, before him , to bear witness against him , saying , Thou didst blaspheme God and the king . And then carry him out , and stone him , that he may die . * And the men of his city , even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city , did as Jezebel had sent unto them , and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them . * They proclaimed a fast , and set Naboth on high among the people . * And there came in two men , children of Belial b @liya #al #, and sat before him : and the men of Belial witnessed against him , even against Naboth , in the presence of the people , saying , Naboth did blaspheme God and the king . Then they carried him forth out of the city , and stoned him with stones , that he died . * Then they sent to Jezebel , saying , Naboth is stoned , and is dead . * And it came to pass , when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned , and was dead , that Jezebel said to Ahab #Ach #ab #, Arise , take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite Yizr @#e #liy #, which he refused to give thee for money : for Naboth is not alive , but dead .
