The law required two witnesses in capital offenses ( Deuteronomy 17:6 ; Deuteronomy 19:15 ; Numbers 35:30 ; Matthew 26:60 ). Cursing God and cursing the king are mentioned in the law ( Matthew 26:60- : ) as offenses closely connected, the king of Israel being the earthly representative of God in His kingdom. they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him —The law, which forbade cursing the rulers of the people, does not specify the penalty for this offense but either usage had sanctioned or the authorities of Jezreel had originated stoning as the proper punishment. It was always inflicted out of the city ( Acts 7:58 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-14" class="com-number"
