Ahab repents and the punishment is deferred (Not in Chronicles)<\/p>\n 18<\/strong>. which<\/em> is [R.V. dwelleth<\/strong> ] in Samaria<\/em> ] This change is necessary for consistency in the narrative. There is no verb in the original, as will be seen from the italics of A. V. The verbs describing the action first of Ahab and then of Elijah, shew that both had gone down<\/em>, the one from Samaria, and the other, perhaps, from Carmel, to the city of Jezreel, which lay on lower ground than either.<\/p>\n to possess it<\/em> ] R.V. to take possession of it<\/strong>. Thus it is shewn that the expression is the same as in 1Ki 21:15-16<\/span>; 1Ki 21:19<\/span>.<\/p>\n Verse 18<\/span>.

Whose seat was there, his palace where he dwelt; and Benjamin of Tudela says g, that in his time might be discerned in Samaria the palace of Ahab king of Israel, that is, some traces of it; some connect the last clause with Israel, as if the sense was, that Ahab was king over those tribes of Israel, of which Samaria was the head:<\/p>\n behold, [he is] in the vineyard of Naboth<\/strong>: or “will be” by the time thou gettest thither; though the Arabic version is, he is “now” in the vineyard of Naboth:<\/p>\n whither he is gone down to possess it<\/strong>; as if it was his legal inheritance.<\/p>\n g Itinerar. p. 38.<\/p>\n (18) Which is in Samaria.<\/strong>These words are almost unmeaning, unless they literally signify that Ahab was then in Samaria, not in Jezreel. To interpret them as simply part of Ahabs title, or as signifying the country, not the town of Samaria, is to explain them away.<\/p>\n ELIJAH’S PROPHECY AGAINST AHAB, 1Ki 21:17-29<\/span>.<\/p>\n 18<\/strong>. <\/strong> Which is in Samaria <\/strong> Or, who reigns in Samaria. <\/em> The words merely designate the seat of Ahab’s government, and his usual place of residence; not that the prophet is to meet Ahab in Samaria, or that Naboth’s vineyard was in Samaria.<\/p>\n 1Ki 21:18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which [is] in Samaria: behold, [he is] in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.<\/p>\n Ver. 18. Which is in Samaria.<\/strong> ] There was Ahab when the message was given in charge to Elias; but in the vineyard at Jezreel when Elias met him.<\/p>\n which is in Samaria: 1Ki 13:32, 2Ch 22:9 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 1Ki 14:6 – for I am 2Ki 1:16 – Forasmuch 2Ki 9:21 – the portion of Naboth Jer 22:1 – Go Jer 28:8 – prophesied Hos 5:1 – O house<\/p>\n 1Ki 21:18-19. Arise, go to meet Ahab, which is in Samaria That is, who reigns in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth Or, rather, he will be there by the time thou comest thither. And speak unto him, Hast thou killed and also taken possession? Thou hast murdered an innocent and righteous man; and, instead of repenting of thy crime, hast added another piece of injustice and violence to it, and art going, confidently and cheerfully, to reap the fruit of thy wickedness. He ascribes Jezebels act to Ahab, because Jezebel did it by his connivance, consent, and authority, and for the gratification of his inordinate desire. In the place where dogs licked, &c. Instead of the place, some would render the original word here used, the manner, and so the sense of the passage will be, As the dogs licked, or, in like manner as they licked Naboths blood, even so shall they lick thy blood: mark what I say, even thine. According to this reading, the prophet foretold that this judgment should come upon him, but did not assign the place; accordingly, the dogs licked Ahabs blood, not in Jezreel, but in Samaria, 1Ki 22:38. If, however, our translation be preferred, it may be observed, 1st, Ahabs blood was licked by the dogs, if not in the same individual, yet in the same general place, Jezreel being in the territory of Samaria. 2d, This was particularly accomplished in his son Joram, as is affirmed 2Ki 9:25-26, whose blood is not improperly called Ahabs, children being said to be born of their parents blood. The expression, indeed, thy blood, even thine, seems to show that the threatening was at first denounced against Ahabs person, and designed to be fulfilled in him: but afterward, upon his humiliation, the punishment was in part transferred from him to his son, as is expressed 1Ki 21:29; yet upon Ahabs returning to sin, as is related in the next chapter, he brought back the curse upon himself, and so it is no wonder that it was in some sort fulfilled in him also.<\/p>\n Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which [is] in Samaria: behold, [he is] in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it. 17 29.
