 The elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city did as Jezebel had ordered them in writing through the letters she had sent them. They proclaimed a fast and placed Naboth at the head of the people. Two scoundrels came in and confronted him with the accusation, Naboth has cursed God and king. And then they led him out of the city and stoned him to death. Then they sent the information to Jezebel that Naboth had been stoned to death.
