1 Reyes 21:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 21:10

And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness
against him
Worthless wretches, that have cast off the yoke of the law, as Belial signifies, lawless abandoned creatures, that have no conscience of anything; "knights of the post", as we call them, that will swear anything; these were to be set before Naboth, right against him to confront him, and accuse him to his face, and charge him with crimes next mentioned:

saying, thou didst blaspheme God and the king:
and so was guilty of death for the former, if not for both, and of confiscation of estate for the latter, which was the thing aimed at; and Jezebel was willing to make sure work of it, and therefore would have him accused of both:

and then carry him out, and stone him, that he die;
immediately, without requiring the witnesses to give proof of their charge, and without giving Naboth leave to answer for himself.

1 Reyes 21:10 In-Context

8 Y ella escribió cartas en nombre de Acab, las selló con su sello y envió las cartas a los ancianos y a los nobles que vivían en la ciudad con Nabot.
9 Y escribió en las cartas, diciendo: Proclamad ayuno y sentad a Nabot a la cabeza del pueblo.
10 Sentad a dos hombres malvados delante de él que testifiquen contra él, diciendo: "Tú has blasfemado a Dios y al rey." Entonces sacadlo y apedreadlo para que muera.
11 Los hombres de su ciudad, los ancianos y los nobles que vivían en su ciudad, hicieron como Jezabel les había mandado, tal como estaba escrito en las cartas que ella les había enviado.
12 Proclamaron ayuno y sentaron a Nabot a la cabeza del pueblo.
