1 Kings 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 Kings 21:10 In-Context

8 So she wrote letters in Ach'av's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the Zakenim and to the nobles who were in his city, [and] who lived with Navot.

9 She wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Navot on high among the people:

10 and set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, You did curse God and the king. Then carry him out, and stone him to death.

11 The men of his city, even the Zakenim and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Izevel had sent to them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.

12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Navot on high among the people.
