and she sent the letters to the elders and the nobles who dwelt with Naboth in his city .

and set Naboth on high among the people ;
*
and set two base fellows opposite him ,
and let them bring a charge against him ,

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 .
