John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 12. They proclaimed a fast , etc.] Or called a court, (see Gill on “ Kings 21:9”). and set Naboth on high among the people ; placed him at the bar as a criminal, (see Gill on “ 1 Kings 21:9”), though Josephus thinks he was set on an high place in the court, because he was of an illustrious birth.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 5-16 - When, instead of a help meet, a man has an agent for Satan, in the for of an artful, unprincipled, yet beloved wife, fatal effects may be expected. Never were more wicked orders given by any prince, than thos Jezebel sent to the rulers of Jezreel. Naboth must be murdered unde colour of religion. There is no wickedness so vile, so horrid, but religion has sometimes been made a cover for it. Also, it must be don under colour of justice, and with the formalities of legal process. Le us, from this sad story, be amazed at the wickedness of the wicked, an the power of Satan in the children of disobedience. Let us commit the keeping of our lives and comforts to God, for innocence will not alway be our security; and let us rejoice in the knowledge that all will be set to rights in the great day.
