1 Kings 21:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ So she wrote some letters in Ahab’s name. She stamped them with his royal seal. Then she sent them to the elders and nobles who lived in the city where Naboth lived. ⁹ In those letters she wrote,

“Announce a day when people are supposed to go without eating. Have Naboth sit in an important place among the people. ¹⁰ But put two worthless and evil men in seats across from him. Have them bring charges that he has cursed God and the king. Then take him out of the city. Kill him by throwing stones at him.”
