Bible Commentaries

1 Kings 1:22 — Nathan came into the palace, not into the chamber, where he might not enter unannounced. Bath-sheba retired before Nathan entered, in accordance with Oriental ideas of propriety. So, when Bath-sheba was again sent for 1 Kings 1:28, Nathan retired (compare 1 Kings 1:32).

1 Kings 11:30 — La primera instancia de la "parábola actuada". En general, este modo se adoptó por orden divina expresa (ver Jeremias 13:1; Ezequiel 3:1). Se puede rastrear una conexión entre el tipo seleccionado y las palabras del anuncio a Solomon ( 1 Reyes 11:11. Compare 1 Samuel 15:26).

1 Kings 14:19 — The wars of Jeroboam may be divided into:(1) his wars with Rehoboam (see 1 Kings 14:25, 1 Kings 14:30); and(2) his war with Abijam (see the marginal reference).The book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel - (of Judah, 1 Kings 14:29). See the Introduction.

1 Chronicles 12:8 — Into the hold to the wilderness - Rather, “into the hold toward the wilderness.” Some understand by this Ziklag, some En-gedi 1 Samuel 24:1-2; but it seems most probable that here and in 1 Chronicles 12:16 the stronghold of Adullam is intended 1 Chronicles 11:15-16.

1 Chronicles 12:8 — En la bodega hacia el desierto - Más bien, "hacia la bodega hacia el desierto". Algunos entienden por este Ziklag, algunos En-gedi 1 Samuel 24:1; pero parece más probable que aquí y en 1 Crónicas 12:16 la fortaleza de Adullam sea 1 Crónicas 11:15.

1 Chronicles 2:42 — A third line of descent from Caleb, the son of Hezron, the issue probably of a different mother, perhaps Jerioth 1 Chronicles 2:18. The supposed omissions in this verse have been supplied as follows:(1) “Mesha, the father of Ziph; and the sons of Ziph, Mareshah, the father of Hebron;” or(2) “Mareshah, the father of Ziph; and the sons of Mareshah, the father of Ziph,

1 Chronicles 2:42 — Una tercera línea de descendencia de Caleb, el hijo de Hezron, probablemente el problema de una madre diferente, tal vez Jerioth 1 Crónicas 2:18. Las supuestas omisiones en este versículo se han proporcionado de la siguiente manera: (1) “Mesha, el padre de Zif; y los hijos de Zif, Maresha, padre de Hebrón; o (2) “Maresha, el padre de Zif; y los hijos de Maresha, padre de Zif, Hebrón. Ziph,

1 Chronicles 29:28 — See 1 Kings 1:1 note.

1 Chronicles 29:28 — Ver 1 Reyes 1:1 nota.

Psalms 33:9 — only to speak, and it arose in all its grandeur where before there was nothing. There is here an undoubted allusion to the account in Genesis of the work of creation - where the statement is that all depended on the command or the word of God: Genesis 1:3, Genesis 1:6,Genesis 1:9, Genesis 1:11, Genesis 1:14, Genesis 1:20, Genesis 1:24, Genesis 1:26. Nothing more sublime can be conceived than the language thus employed in the Scriptures in describing that work. No more elevated conception can enter

Proverbs 29:18 — Vision - The word commonly used of the revelation of God’s will made to prophets. Compare Isaiah 1:1; Nahum 1:1.When prophetic vision fails, obedience to the Law is the best or only substitute for it, both being forms through which divine wisdom is revealed. Very striking in the midst of ethical precepts is this recognition of the need of a yet higher

Isaiah 39:7 — Y de esos hijos - Tu posteridad (mira la nota en Mateo 1:1). Eso saldrá de ti - De la familia real. El cautiverio en Babilonia ocurrió más de cien años después de esto, y por supuesto aquellos que fueron llevados allí eran descendientes algo remotos de Ezequías. Y serán eunucos - La palabra usada aquí

Jeremiah 20:1 — Pashur, the father probably of the Gedaliah mentioned in Jeremiah 38:1, was the head of the 16th course (shift) of priests (marginal reference); the other Pashur Jeremiah 21:1 belonged to the fifth course, the sons of Melchiah. Both these houses returned in great strength from the exile. See Ezra 2:37-38.Chief governor

John 13:33 — he endeavors to mitigate their grief by the most tender expressions of attachment, showing that he felt for them the deep interest in their welfare which a parent feels for his children. The word “children” is often given to Christians as implying: 1.That God is their Father, and that they sustain toward him that endearing relation, Romans 8:14-15. 2.As denoting their need of teaching and guidance, as children need the aid and counsel of a father. See the corresponding term “babes” used in 1Co 3:1;

Joshua 13:3 — signifying “to be black,” and is suitable enough as an appellative of the Nile Isaiah 23:3. Here it most probably stands for “the river of Egypt” (Numbers 34:3 note), the modern “Wady el Arish”.Ekron (“Akir”) lay on the northern boundary of Judah Joshua 15:11, and was actually conquered by the men of that tribe Judges 1:18, though assigned in the allotment of the land to Dan Joshua 19:43. It seems to have fallen again into the hands of the Philistines in the days of the Judges 1 Samuel 5:10, was reconquered

1 Thessalonians 3:10 — Night and day - Constantly.Praying exceedingly - Greek, abundantly; that is, there was much more than ordinary prayer. He made this a special subject of prayer; he urged it with earnestness, and without intermission; compare 1 Thessalonians 2:17.And might perfect that which is lacking in your faith - Might render it complete, or fill up anything which is missing. The word used here (καταρτίσαι katartisai), means, properly, to make fully ready, to put full in order, to make

1 Timothy 6:21 — verdaderos cristianos. Se sintieron atraídos por la filosofía falsa, y pronto, como consecuencia, fueron llevados a negar las doctrinas del cristianismo. Este resultado no ha sido raro en el mundo. Se ha equivocado con respecto a la fe - vea las notas en 1 Timoteo 1:6; 1 Timoteo 6:1. La gracia sea contigo - ver las notas, Romanos 1:7. En la suscripción al final de esta Epístola, vea Introducción, Sección 2. Es, como las otras suscripciones al final de las epístolas, sin autoridad.

James 1 overview — to comprise two general classes of subjects; the statement in regard to the first of which is complete, but the second is only commenced in this chapter, and is continued in the second. The first is the general subject of temptation and trial James 1:1-15; the second is the nature of true religion: the statement that all true religion has its origin in God, the source of purity and truth, and that it requires us to be docile and meek; to be doers of the word; to bridle the tongue, and to be the

James 1 overview — dos clases generales de sujetos; La declaración con respecto a la primera de las cuales está completa, pero el segundo solo se inicia en este capítulo, y se continúa en el segundo. El primero es el tema general de la tentación y la prueba Santiago 1:1-15; El segundo es la naturaleza de la verdadera religión: la afirmación de que toda la verdadera religión tiene su origen en Dios, la fuente de pureza y la verdad, y que nos obliga a ser dóciles y mansos; ser hacedores de la palabra; Para brillar

2 Samuel 1:16 — David might well think his sentence just though severe, for he had more than once expressed the deliberate opinion that none could lift up his hand against the Lord’s anointed, and be guiltless (see 1 Samuel 24:6; 1 Samuel 26:9, 1 Samuel 26:11, 1 Samuel 26:16).
