1. Kongebok 21,11

Jezebel

9 I de brevene skrev hun: "Utrop en faste og sett Nabot på en fremtredende plass blant folket.

10 Men sett to kjeltringer overfor ham og la dem vitne at han har forbannet både Gud og kongen. Ta ham så ut og stein ham til døde."

Så mennene i Nabots by—de eldste og fornemme som bodde der—gjorde nøyaktig som Jesabel hadde instruert i brevene hun hadde sendt dem.

12 De kunngjorde en faste og plasserte Nabot på en fremtredende plass blant folket.

13 Så kom to verdiløse menn inn og satte seg overfor ham, og vitnet foran folket og sa: "Nabot har forbannet Gud og kongen." Så tok de ham utenfor byen og steinet ham til døde.
