Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

21:10 scoundrels (literally sons of Belial): The Hebrew expression refers to totally evil reprobates (Deut 13:13; Judg 19:22; 1 Sam 10:27; Prov 6:12). Later Jewish writings attributed the name Belial to Satan, a use reflected by Paul in the New Testament (2 Cor 6:15).
• Legally, two witnesses were needed to establish a charge against a person (Deut 19:15; Matt 18:16). The twofold charge of Naboth’s blasphemy against God and against the king carried a penalty of death by stoning outside the city (Deut 17:5-6; 22:24). Naboth was apparently put to death on his own land (see 2 Kgs 9:21-26).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Some words not found in UHB: and,seat two men sons_of worthless opposite,him and,testify,him to=say cursed ʼElohīm and,king and,take_~_out,him and,stone,him and,death )

Alternate translation: “have them accuse him”
