1 Kings 21:13
And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.

Study Note
The judicial murder of Naboth — two 'sons of Belial' falsely testifying that he blasphemed God and the king, resulting in his stoning — is the culminating act of Jezebel's ruthless jurisprudence and Ahab's compliant covetousness. The narrative deliberately echoes the Deuteronomic requirement of two witnesses for capital cases (Deuteronomy 17:6; 19:15) to show that the letter of the law was deployed in the service of its complete violation. Elijah's subsequent confrontation (verses 17-24) and the oracle of divine retribution frame the episode as the paradigmatic case of prophetic advocacy for the dispossessed against royal power. Jesus's trial before false witnesses (Matthew 26:59-62) deliberately echoes the Naboth-pattern — the just one condemned by coordinated false testimony — making the Passion a recapitulation of Israel's worst judicial injustice.
