And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron and said, Thus saith Jehovah, With these shalt thou push the Syrians until they be consumed. And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper; for Jehovah will deliver it into the hand of the king.”<\/p>\n E.M. Zerr:<\/p>\n 2Ch 18:8-9. Ahab had no way of evading the unpleasant situation, so he sent a servant to bring the prophet Micaiah before the two kings. As it was to be a meeting of a military nature, and one conducted jointly by the rulers of two great kingdoms, it was proper to provide a special place for this hearing. Accordingly, they selected a void or open plot of ground near the gate of Samaria, Ahab’s capital. <\/p>\n 2Ch 18:10-11. While waiting for the prophet sent for to arrive, the 400 who were already present were not silent. One of them, Zedekiah by name, made a material gesture for emphasizing a prediction he wished to make. He had made some horns or pointed instruments of iron to use for effect in his speech. He made the prediction that Ahab would push or gore the Syrians until they would be consumed, which means completely defeated. All the others of the 400 Joined in with the flattery and urged the attack. <\/p>\n sat either: 1Ki 22:10-12, Isa 14:9, Eze 26:16, Dan 7:9, Mat 19:28 <\/p>\n clothed: 2Ch 18:29, Mat 6:29, Mat 11:8 <\/p>\n void place: or, floor, Threshing-floors, among the ancient Jews, as we have before remarked, were only, as they are to this day in the East, round level plats of ground in the open air. Hence a floor might well be near the gate of Samaria, which was built on a hill, and afford no improper place for the kings of Judah and Israel to give audience to the prophets. <\/p>\n all the prophets: Jer 27:14-16 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 1Ch 19:6 – Zobah<\/p>\n 18:9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in [their] {h} robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.<\/p>\n (h) That is, in their majesty and royal apparel.<\/p>\n And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in [their] robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. 9. either of them clothed ] R.V. each arrayed. in a … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Chronicles 18:9”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11563","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11563"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11563\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
