1 Kings 21:14

14 miseruntque ad Hiezabel dicentes lapidatus est Naboth et mortuus est

1 Kings 21:14 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 21:14

Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is
dead.
] Not only stoned, but stoned to death. This message was sent to her from the magistrates of Jezreel; for though the letters came in Ahab's name, they might be privately informed that this was a scheme of Jezebel's; besides, they knew she had the sway at court, and especially that the news of this man's death would be acceptable to her, and the more if he was of the 7000 that would not bow the knee to Baal.

14 miseruntque ad Hiezabel dicentes lapidatus est Naboth et mortuus est

15 factum est autem cum audisset Hiezabel lapidatum Naboth et mortuum locuta est ad Ahab surge posside vineam Naboth Hiezrahelitae qui noluit tibi adquiescere et dare eam accepta pecunia non enim vivit Naboth sed mortuus est

16 quod cum audisset Ahab mortuum videlicet Naboth surrexit et descendebat in vineam Naboth Hiezrahelitae ut possideret eam
