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.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 21 of 1 Kings. Ahab desires Naboth’s vineyard and becomes distressed when Naboth refuses to sell it because it represents the inheritance received from his ancestors. Jezebel then organizes a false trial, accuses Naboth, and secures his execution. Ahab takes possession of the vineyard. The narrative presents the abuse of royal power against a citizen defending his family inheritance. The seizure of the land turns the king’s greed into a violation of justice and property within Israel.

Da kamen die zwei losen Buben und stellten sich vor ihn und zeugten wider Naboth vor dem Volk und sprachen: Naboth hat Gott und den König gelästert. Da führten sie ihn vor die Stadt hinaus und steinigten ihn, daß er starb.
Vinieron entonces dos hombres perversos, y sentáronse delante de él: y aquellos hombres de Belial atestiguaron contra Naboth delante del pueblo, diciendo: Naboth ha blasfemado a Dios y al rey. Y sacáronlo fuera de la ciudad, y apedreáronlo con piedras, y murió.
Llegaron los dos hombres perversos y se sentaron frente a él. Aquellos hombres perversos testificaron contra Nabot delante del pueblo diciendo: «Nabot ha maldecido a Dios y al rey». Lo sacaron fuera de la ciudad, lo apedrearon y murió.
les deux méchants hommes vinrent se mettre en face de lui, et ces méchants hommes déposèrent ainsi devant le peuple contre Naboth: Naboth a maudit Dieu et le roi! Puis ils le menèrent hors de la ville, ils le lapidèrent, et il mourut.
Poi vennero que’ due uomini scellerati, e si presentarono contro a Nabot, e testimoniarono contro a lui, davanti al popolo, dicendo: Nabot ha bestemmiato Iddio ed il re. Laonde coloro lo menarono fuori della città, e lo lapidarono, sì ch’egli morì.
Então vieram dois homens, filhos de Belial, e puseram-se defronte dele; e os homens, filhos de Belial, testemunharam contra ele, contra Nabote, perante o povo, dizendo: Nabote blasfemou contra Deus e contra o rei. E o levaram para fora da cidade, e o apedrejaram, e morreu.
