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 De inmediato escribió cartas en nombre de Acab, puso en ellas el sello del rey, y las envió a los ancianos y nobles que vivían en la ciudad de Nabot.

9 En las cartas decía:«Decreten un día de ayuno, y den a Nabot un lugar prominente en la asamblea del pueblo.

10 Pongan frente a él a dos sinvergüenzas y háganlos testificar que él ha maldecido tanto a Dios como al rey. Luego sáquenlo y mátenlo a pedradas».

11 Los ancianos y nobles que vivían en esa ciudad acataron lo que Jezabel había ordenado en sus cartas.

12 Decretaron un día de ayuno y le dieron a Nabot un lugar prominente en la asamblea.
