Deuteronomy 21:18

In context

16then on the day he passes his property on to his sons, he must not treat the son of the loved wife as the firstborn in place of the son of the unloved wife, who is actually the firstborn. 17He must acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the unloved wife, by giving him a double share of everything he has, since he is the first sign of his father’s strength; the right of the firstborn is his. 18If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father or mother, and does not listen to them even after they discipline him, 19his father and mother are to take hold of him and bring him to the elders of his city, to the gate of that place, 20and say to the elders of his city, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us; he is a glutton and a drunkard.”
