Sons Who Refuse to Obey

¹⁸ If someone has a son who is stubborn, who ·turns [rebels] against his father and mother and doesn’t obey them or listen when they ·correct [discipline] him, ¹⁹ his ·parents [^Lmother and his father] must ·take [grab] him to the elders at the city gate [Ex. 21:15; Lev. 20:9]. ²⁰ They will say to the elders, “Our son is stubborn and ·turns [rebels] against us. He will not obey us. He ·eats too much [is a glutton], and he is ·always drunk [a drunk].”
