As it was written in the letters that she had sent to them, 12 ^ethey proclaimed a fast and set Naboth at the head of the people. 13 And 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. 14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned; he is dead.”

Judgment and Redemption

14 ^gJustice is turned back,
and righteousness stands far away;
for truth has stumbled in the public squares,
and uprightness cannot enter.

Micah 7:3

3 ^hTheir hands are on what is evil, to do it well;
ⁱthe prince and ^jthe judge ask for a bribe,
and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul;
thus they weave it together.
