Deuteronomy 21:20-23 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

20. They will say to the leaders, “Our son is stubborn and turns against us. He will not obey us. He eats too much. And he is always drunk.”

21. Then all the men in his town must throw stones at him until he dies. Get rid of the evil among you. All the people of Israel will hear about this and be afraid.

22. A man might be guilty of a sin worthy of death. He must be put to death and his body displayed on a tree.

23. But don’t leave his body hanging on the tree overnight. Be sure to bury him that same day. Anyone whose body is displayed on a tree is cursed by God. You must not ruin the land the Lord your God is giving you to own.
