1 Kings 21:13-15
New English Translation
13 The two villains arrived and sat opposite him. Then the villains testified against Naboth right before the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king.” So they dragged him[a] outside the city and stoned him to death.[b] 14 Then they reported to Jezebel, “Naboth has been stoned to death.”[c]
15 When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned to death, she[d] said to Ahab, “Get up, take possession of the vineyard Naboth the Jezreelite refused to sell you for silver, for Naboth is no longer alive; he’s dead.”
