John Gill Commentary 1 Kings 21:12

"They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people." — 1 Kings 21:12 (ASV)

They proclaimed a fast
Or called a court, (See Gill on 1 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 ^F3 thinks he was set on an high place in the court, because he was of an illustrious birth.
