Deuteronomy 21:18-21
1599 Geneva Bible
18 ¶ If any man have a son that is stubborn and disobedient, which will not hearken unto the voice of his father, nor the voice of his [a]mother, and they have chastened him, and he would not obey them,
19 Then shall his father and his mother take him, and bring him out unto the Elders of his city, and unto the gate of the place where he dwelleth,
20 And shall say unto the Elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and disobedient, and he will not obey our admonition: he is a rioter, and a drunkard.
21 Then all the men of his city shall [b]stone him with stones unto death: so thou shalt take away evil from among you, that all Israel may hear it, and fear.

A Rebellious Son
18 If someone has a stubborn and rebellious(A) son(B) who does not obey his father and mother(C) and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” 21 Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death.(D) You must purge the evil(E) from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.(F)
