23<\/strong>. the dogs shall eat Jezebel<\/em> ] For the fulfilment, see 2Ki 9:35-37<\/span>.<\/p>\n by the wall<\/em> [R.V. rampart<\/strong> ] of Jezreel<\/em> ] The Hebrew word which stands here in the text is found again 2Sa 20:15<\/span>, where it is translated ‘trench’, with a margin in A.V. ‘outmost wall’. The R.V. gives there also ‘rampart’. In 2Ki 9:10<\/span>; 2Ki 9:36-37<\/span>, the body is said to have been devoured ‘in the portion of Jezreel’, and as the words ‘by the rampart’ , want only an additional letter to turn them into ‘in the portion’ , it has been suggested that the latter ought to be the reading here. But there is no need for any change. Both expressions mean the same thing. The ‘portion’ is the land close to the walls outside. Jezebel must have looked forth from a window of some building that formed part of the city wall. Thus she would be able to shew herself to Jehu as soon as he drew near.<\/p>\n And of Jezebel also spake the Lord, saying – <\/B>These are not the words of Elijah, but of the writer, who notes a special prophecy against Jezebel, whose guilt was at least equal to her husbands.<\/P> Wall – <\/B>The marginal rendering ditch, is preferable. There is always in Oriental towns a space outside the walls which lies uncultivated, and which is naturally used for the deposit of refuse of every kind. Here the dogs prowl, and the kites and vultures find many a feast.<\/P><\/p>\n Verse 23. The dogs shall eat Jezebel<\/B><\/I>] This was most literally fulfilled; see 2Kg 9:36<\/span>. The carcasses of poor Hindoos<\/I>, and of persons who have received public punishment, are thrown into the rivers<\/I>, and floating to the side, are devoured by dogs, vultures<\/I>, and crows<\/I>.<\/P> <\/p>\n Or, by the ditch, or fort; or, in the portion<\/I>, as it is explained 2Ki 9:36<\/span>; the Hebrew chel<\/I> here being put for chelek<\/I>, used there by an apocope of the last Hebrew letter, which is not unusual in the Hebrew tongue. <\/P> <\/p>\n And of Jezebel also spake the Lord<\/strong>,…. To Elijah, and by him:<\/p>\n saying, the dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel<\/strong> or in the inheritance or portion of Jezreel, as the Targum; Jarchi interprets it, the valley of Jezreel; the fulfilment of this see in 2Ki 9:30<\/span>.<\/p>\n 23<\/strong>. <\/strong> Dogs shall eat Jezebel <\/strong> See the fulfilment of this in 2Ki 9:30-37<\/span>. <\/p>\n By the wall <\/strong> The wall of her palace, according to 2 King 9:33<\/span>.<\/p>\n 1Ki 21:23 And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.<\/p>\n Ver. 23. The dogs shall eat Jezebel.<\/strong> ] So the Donatists that threw the sacramental bread to dogs were themselves afterwards devoured of dogs.<\/p>\n by the wall. The word behel is thought by Ginsburg to be an abbreviation for bthelek = “in the portion of”, as in 2Ki 9:10, 2Ki 9:36 : i.e. within the rampart. <\/p>\n Jezreel. Not Samaria the capital, but Jezreel where Naboth had been murdered. <\/p>\n Jezebel: 1Ki 21:25, 2Ki 9:10, 2Ki 9:30-37 <\/p>\n the dogs: Shocking as this must appear to minds that have been humanized by the kindly influence of Christianity, we still find similar instances in the accounts of modern travellers. Mr. Bruce says, that when at Gondar, “the bodies of those killed by the sword were hewn to pieces and scattered about the streets, being denied burial. I was miserable, and almost driven to despair, at seeing my hunting dogs, twice let loose by the carelessness of my servants, bringing into the court-yard the heads and arms of slaughtered men, and which I could no way prevent, but by the destruction of the dogs themselves.” <\/p>\n wall: or, ditch. <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Jos 17:16 – Jezreel 1Sa 29:1 – Jezreel 1Ki 14:11 – that dieth 1Ki 18:45 – Ahab 2Ki 9:36 – This is Job 12:21 – poureth Pro 28:17 – General Jer 15:3 – I will Jer 16:4 – as dung Jer 22:19 – General Jer 34:20 – and their Rev 2:20 – that woman<\/p>\n 1Ki 21:23-24. The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall Or, by the ditch, or fort; or, in the portion, of Jezreel, as the Hebrew word , becheel, often signifies, and as it is explained 2Ki 9:36, a passage which attests the exact accomplishment of this prediction. Him that dieth of Ahab in the city, &c. Punishments after death are here most insisted on; and these, though lighting on the body only, yet undoubtedly were designed as figures of the souls misery in an after state.<\/p>\n And of Jezebel also spoke the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel. 23. the dogs shall eat Jezebel ] For the fulfilment, see 2Ki 9:35-37. by the wall [R.V. rampart ] of Jezreel ] The Hebrew word which stands here in the text is found again 2Sa 20:15, where … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Kings 21:23”<\/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-9486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9486","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=9486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9486\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
