8 So she sent a letter in Ahab's name, stamped with his stamp, to the elders and nobles who were in authority with Naboth.
9 The letter she wrote is as follows: »Let a time of public sorrow be fixed, and put Naboth at the head of the people.
10 »Get two good-for-nothing persons to come before him and give witness that he has been cursing God and the king. Then take him out and have him stoned to death.«
11 So the elders and nobles in authority in his town did as Jezebel said in the letter she sent them.
12 They gave orders for a day of public sorrow and put Naboth at the head of the people.
13 The two good-for-nothing persons came in and took their seats before him and gave witness against Naboth, in front of the people. They said: »Naboth has been cursing God and the king.« Then they took him outside the town and had him stoned to death.
14 Then they sent word to Jezebel, saying: »Naboth has been stoned and is dead.«
