Alright. You got the right verses, sister but I wouldn't call it a stoning. She was thrown out of a window to the ground below and then was stomped on by horses. The window must have been fairly high up because her landing caused her blood to splatter quite a bit.

What wealthy woman had a son that died of sunstroke?
(Judges, Joshua, 2 Kings)

[Eva]

What wealthy woman had a son that died of sunstroke?
(Judges, Joshua, 2 Kings)

Although sunstroke isn't mentioned outright, it could be:

2 Kings 4:17-20  And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.  And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.  And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.
 
Thank you for another opportunity to learn.

Thank you for pointing out my error. It should have said: A terrible death, as a type of stoning-like when they would throw them from high places and throw stones down on them. Am I making any sense?

You are right again Miss Eva!  And if you've ever had a sun-stroke or a heat-stroke, (I have in lovely Arizona) you would would definately be saying, "My head, my head".  My head never hurt so bad in my life and it lasted about a week!  Aruggh!

[Soldier4Christ]

No sunstroke isn't mentioned but the symptoms are. We also know that this was an excessively hot area and was stricken with many droughts during the time of this incident as it is mentioned throughout 1 and 2 Kings of the many famines.

These are such FUN!!! Manoah

Judges 13:16  And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the LORD. And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honor? And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?

Who was Manoah?

a Danite, the father of Samson

(Jdg 13:22 KJV)  And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.

(Jdg 13:23 KJV)  But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these.

(Jdg 13:24 KJV)  And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.

 Manoah means rest or quiet in Hebrew

Thank you workinprogress.
I wonder; if Manoah means "rest" or "quiet", what does Noah mean?

What prophet saw the Lord's angel riding on a red horse?
(Isaiah, Zechariah, Zephaniah)

[David_james]

Zechariah 1:7-8

 Then on February 15* of the second year of King Darius’s reign, the Lord sent another message to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah and grandson of Iddo. Zechariah said:
8 In a vision during the night, I saw a man sitting on a red horse that was standing among some myrtle trees in a small valley. Behind him were red, brown, and white horses, each with its own rider.
