Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Kings 22:16

Ver. 16. How many times shall I adjure thee? ] I charge thee again and again, as by solemn oath. Here he makes a great flaunt of love to the truth, which, when it was told him, he could by no means bear or brook. But how impudent was the devil, in adjuring our Saviour by God not to torment him!
