In Context

11 The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.

12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

13 The two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him. The base fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, |Naboth cursed God and the king!| Then they carried him out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.

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

15 It happened, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel 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.|

16 It happened, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
