21:12 They observed a time of fasting and put Naboth in front of the people.
21:13 The two villains arrived and sat opposite him. Then the villains testified against Naboth right before the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king.” So they dragged him outside the city and stoned him to death.

I will pay you silver for it.”

Your wisdom and wealth
surpass what was reported to me.
