And there came in two men, sons 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 blasphemed God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died — Two perjurers accuse Naboth of blasphemy. The assembly approves, and Naboth is executed outside the city. The phrase shows the complete perversion of justice: a righteous man is judicially murdered through coordinated perjury.
