Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Deuteronomy 13:9

_ _ thou shalt surely kill him — not hastily, or in a private manner, but after trial and conviction; and his relative, as informer, was to cast the first stone (see on Deuteronomy 17:2; see on Acts 7:58). It is manifest that what was done in secret could not be legally proved by a single informer; and hence Jewish writers say that spies were set in some private part of the house, to hear the conversation and watch the conduct of a person suspected of idolatrous tendencies.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Deuteronomy 13:6-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Deuteronomy 13:9

Thou shalt kill him — Not privately, which pretence would have opened the door to innumerable murders, but by procuring his death by the sentence of the magistrate. Thou shalt cast the first stone at him, as the witness was to do.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Deuteronomy 13:9

But thou shalt surely kill him; (g) thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

(g) As the witness is charged.
