*
and set two base fellows opposite him ,
and let them bring a charge against him ,
saying , `
You have cursed God and the king .'
Then take him out ,
and stone him to death ."
*
And the men of his city ,
the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city ,
did as Jez '
ebel had sent word to them .
As it was written in the letters which she had sent to them ,
*
they proclaimed a fast ,
and set Naboth on high among the people .
*
And the two base fellows came in and sat opposite him ;
and the base fellows brought a charge against Naboth ,
in the presence of the people ,
saying , "
Naboth cursed God and the king ."
So they took him outside the city ,
and stoned him to death with stones .
*
Then they sent to Jez '
ebel ,
saying , "
Naboth has been stoned ;
he is dead ."
*
As soon as Jez '
ebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead ,
Jez '
ebel said to Ahab , "
Arise ,
take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite ,
which he refused to give you for money ;
for Naboth is not alive ,
but dead ."
