Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead. Not only stoned, but stoned to death. This message was sent to her from the magistrates of Jezreel; for though the letters came in Ahab’s name, they might be privately informed that this was a scheme of Jezebel’s; besides, they knew she had the sway at court, and especially that the news of this man’s death would be acceptable to her, and the more if he was of the 7000 that would not bow the knee to Baal.

1Ki 21:14. They sent to Jezebel By whom they were not ignorant the affairs of the kingdom were in a great measure managed, and this design contrived: saying, Naboth is stoned Which they knew would be an agreeable piece of news to her who had imbrued her hands in the blood of so many of the Lords prophets. Here let us observe, that as obsequious as the elders of Jezreel were to Jezebels orders, which she sent from Samaria for the murder of Naboth, so obsequious were the elders of Samaria afterward to Jehus orders, which he sent from Jezreel, for the murder of Ahabs seventy sons, only that was not done by course of lay.
