1 Re 21:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 21:11

And the men of the city, even the elders and the nobles who
were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them,
&c.] That Jezebel should contrive so execrable a scheme, and that there should be such sons of Belial among the common people to swear to such falsehoods, need not seem strange; but that the elders and nobles of the city, the chief magistrates thereof, should be so sadly and universally depraved as to execute such a piece of villany, is really surprising. Idolatry, when it prevails, takes away all sense of humanity and justice:

[and] as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them;
they punctually, exactly, obeyed the orders in them, as follows.

1 Re 21:11 In-Context

9 E in quelle lettere scrisse così: "Bandite un digiuno, e fate sedere Naboth in prima fila davanti al popolo;
10 e mettetegli a fronte due scellerati, i quali depongano contro di lui, dicendo: Tu hai maledetto Iddio ed il re; poi menatelo fuor di città, lapidatelo, e così muoia".
11 La gente della città di Naboth, gli anziani e i notabili che abitavano nella città, fecero come Izebel avea loro fatto dire, secondo ch’era scritto nelle lettere ch’ella avea loro mandate.
12 Bandirono il digiuno, e fecero sedere Naboth davanti al popolo;
13 i due scellerati, vennero a metterglisi a fronte; e questi scellerati deposero così contro di lui, dinanzi al popolo: "Naboth ha maledetto Iddio ed il re". Per la qual cosa lo menarono fuori della città, lo lapidarono, sì ch’egli morì.
