1 Koningen 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 Koningen 21:10 In-Context

8 Zij dan schreef brieven in den naam van Achab, en verzegelde ze met zijn signet; en zond de brieven tot de oudsten en tot de edelen, die in zijn stad waren, wonende met Naboth.
9 En zij schreef in die brieven, zeggende: Roept een vasten uit, en zet Naboth in de hoogste plaats des volks;
10 En zet tegenover hem twee mannen, zonen Belials, die tegen hem getuigen, zeggende: Gij hebt God en den koning gezegend; en voert hem uit, en stenigt hem, dat hij sterve.
11 En de mannen zijner stad, die oudsten en die edelen, die in zijn stad woonden, deden gelijk als Izebel tot hen gezonden had; gelijk als geschreven was in de brieven, die zij tot hen gezonden had.
12 Zij riepen een vasten uit; en zij zetten Naboth in de hoogste plaats des volks.
