1 Kings 21:8 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 21:8

So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his
seal
He giving her leave, no doubt, to take his seal; though she might not communicate her scheme to him, lest he should object to it:

and sent the letters unto the elders, and to the nobles that were in
his city dwelling with Naboth:
to the chief magistrates of the city of Jezreel, where Naboth dwelt.

1 Kings 21:8 In-Context

6 He answered, "Because of what Naboth said to me. I offered to buy his vineyard or, if he preferred, to give him another one for it, but he told me that I couldn't have it!"

7 "Well, are you the king or aren't you?" Jezebel replied. "Get out of bed, cheer up, and eat. I will get you Naboth's vineyard!"

8 Then she wrote some letters, signed Ahab's name to them, sealed them with his seal, and sent them to the officials and leading citizens of Jezreel.

9 The letters said: "Proclaim a day of fasting, call the people together, and give Naboth the place of honor.

10 Get a couple of scoundrels to accuse him to his face of cursing God and the king. Then take him out of the city and stone him to death."
