“And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD.”
King James Version (KJV)
24:21 Stoned him - They stoned him immediately, without even colour of law; as horrid a piece of wickedness, as any we read of in all the history of the kings. That ever such a villainy should be committed, by men, by Israelites, in contempt and violation of everything that is just, honourable, and sacred! The Jews say, there were seven transgressions in one: They killed a priest, a prophet, a judge; they shed innocent blood; polluted the court of the temple, the Sabbath, and the day of expiation: for on that day, their tradition says, this happened.
And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandement of the king, in the court of the house of the Lord.
