Sin's Full, Brutal Cost

Commentators highlight a grim detail revealed here for the first time: Naboth's sons were also murdered. This wasn't just a land grab; it was the extermination of an entire family to eliminate heirs. This verse shows that the full scope of a sin is often more wicked and far-reaching than what is first recorded, reminding us that God sees and judges the complete, hidden truth of our actions.
