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.
