12. They announced a fast and had Naboth seated as the leader of the people.
13. The two good-for-nothing men came in and sat opposite him. In front of the people, these men accused Naboth of cursing God and the king. So the people stoned him to death outside the city.
14. Then the leaders sent ⌊this message⌋ to Jezbel: “Naboth has been stoned to death.”
15. Jezbel received the message and said to Ahab, “Get up! Confiscate the vineyard which Naboth from Jezreel refused to sell you. He’s dead now.”
16. When he heard about Naboth’s death, Ahab went to confiscate the vineyard.
