And so great is the offensiveness and unfitness of speaking thus unto a King, that the Jews joined it with blasphemy against God himself. We read (1 Kings 21.13.) how two false Witnesses came against Naboth, saying, Naboth blasphemed God and the King; as much as to say, we heard Naboth say of the King, Belial; And as soon as these two had brought in their evidence against him, that he had blasphemed God and the King, they drew him out, and stoned him: Blasphemy against God was death by the express letter of the Law, (Lev. 24.15, 16.)

Kings are to be feared, to be submitted to, they are to be prayed for, therefore not to be reviled. Is it fit to say unto a King, Belial?
