1 Kings 21:11-14
11And the men of his city, athe elders and the leaders who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent word to them. As it was written in the letters that she had sent to them, 12 bthey proclaimed a fast and set Naboth at the head of the people. 13And the two worthless men came in and sat opposite him. And the worthless men brought a charge against Naboth in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king.” So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death with stones. 14Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned; he is dead.”2 Kings 10:5-7
5So he who was over the palace, and he who was over the city, together with the elders and the guardians, sent to Jehu, saying, c“We are your servants, and we will do all that you tell us. We will not make anyone king. Do whatever is good in your eyes.” 6Then he wrote to them a second letter, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you are ready to obey me, take the heads of your master’s sons and come to me at Jezreel tomorrow at this time.” Now the king’s sons, seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, dwho were bringing them up. 7And as soon as the letter came to them, they took the king’s sons eand slaughtered them, seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets and sent them to him at Jezreel.Psalms 54:3
