1 Kings 21:12-15 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

12. They called a fast, and they seated Naboth at the head of the people.

13. Then the two men, scoundrels, came, sat opposite him, and the scoundrels witnessed against Naboth before the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king,” so they brought him outside of the city and stoned him with stones, and he died.

14. They sent to Jezebel saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and he is dead.”

15. It happened at the moment Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and died, Jezebel said to Ahab, “Get up, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite which he had refused to give to you for money, for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
