Beheaded

They had entered the house while Ish-bosheth was lying on his bed, and having stabbed and killed him, they beheaded him, took his head, and traveled all night by way of the Arabah.

…and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.

But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”

So without delay, the king commanded that John’s head be brought in. He sent an executioner, who went and beheaded him in the prison.

“I beheaded John,” Herod said, “but who is this man I hear such things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.

Then I saw the thrones, and those seated on them had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or hands. And they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
