⁸ Jezebel wrote some letters as if King Ahab had written them. She used his special seal as a mark on them. Then she sent them to the older leaders and important men who lived in Jezreel with Naboth. ⁹ This is what she wrote in those letters: ‘Choose a day for everyone to fast. Give Naboth a seat where the people can see him. ¹⁰ Put two wicked men in seats near him. Tell them to accuse Naboth that he has insulted God and the king. Then take him out. Throw stones at him until he is dead.’
