NASB
"Now she wrote in the letters, saying, "Proclaim a fast and seat Naboth at the head of the people;"
— 1 Kings 21:9, NASB
“And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:”
“And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people: ”
“She wrote in the letters, saying, "Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.”
“This is what she wrote:“Observe a time of fasting and seat Naboth in front of the people.”
“And this was the tenor of the letters: Proclaim a fast, and make Naboth sit among the chief of the people;”
“And in the letter she said, Let a time of public sorrow be fixed, and put Naboth at the head of the people;”
“And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:”
So he said to her, "Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and said to him, 'Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you a vineyard in its place.' But he said, 'I will not give you my vineyard.'"
Jezebel his wife said to him, "Do you now reign over Israel? Arise, eat bread, and let your heart be joyful; I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite."
So she wrote letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal, and sent letters to the elders and to the nobles who were living with Naboth in his city.
Now she wrote in the letters, saying, "Proclaim a fast and seat Naboth at the head of the people;
and seat two worthless men before him, and let them testify against him, saying, 'You cursed God and the king.' Then take him out and stone him to death."
So the men of his city, the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent word to them, just as it was written in the letters which she had sent them.
They proclaimed a fast and seated Naboth at the head of the people.
