Bible Commentaries

2 Kings 25:9 — Quemó la casa del Señor - Compare las profecías de Jeremías Jeremias 21:1; Jeremias 34:2; Jeremias 38:18, Jeremias 38:23. Salmo 79:1 Salmo 79:1 se cree que tiene escrito poco después de esta destrucción del templo.

1 Chronicles 24:3 — Zadok and Ahimelech (rather Abiathar, see 1 Chronicles 24:6) assisted David in drawing up the priestly courses, as the “captains of the host” assisted him in making the divisions of the singers 1 Chronicles 25:1.

1 Chronicles 24:3 — Zadok y Ahimelec (más bien Abiatar, ver 1 Crónicas 24:6) ayudaron a David a elaborar los cursos sacerdotales, ya que los "capitanes del ejército" lo ayudaron a hacer las divisiones de los cantantes 1 Crónicas 25:1.

Daniel 11:33 — fall by the sword - They shall not be immediately nor always successful. Their final triumph would be only after many of them had fallen in battle, or been made captives. Matrathins, the father of Judas Maccabeus, who began the opposition to Antiochus (1 Macc. 2:1), having summoned to his standard as many as he could induce to follow him, retired for security to the mountains. He was pursued, and refusing to fight on the Sabbath, his enemies came upon him, and killed many of his followers, 1 Macc. 2:14-37.

Daniel 11:33 — por la espada - No serán inmediatos ni siempre exitosos. Su triunfo final sería solo después de que muchos de ellos hubieran caído en la batalla o fueran hechos cautivos. Matrathins, el padre de Judas Macabeo, quien comenzó la oposición a Antíoco (1 Macc. 2: 1), después de haber convocado a su nivel a todos los que pudo inducir a seguirlo, se retiró por seguridad a las montañas. Fue perseguido, y al negarse a luchar en sábado, sus enemigos se encontraron con él y mataron a muchos de sus seguidores,

Numbers 2:2 — standard ... ensign - The “standard” marked the division, or camp (cf. Numbers 1:9, Numbers 1:16, Numbers 1:24, Numbers 1:31); the “ensign” the family. There would thus be four “standards” only, one for each “camp” of three tribes. The “standard” was probably a solid figure or emblem mounted on a pole, such as the Egyptians used.

Zechariah 2:13 — Silencio - Literalmente, "silencia toda carne, delante del Señor" (ver en Habacuc 2:2, p. 207); hombre en su debilidad Génesis 6:3; 2 Crónicas 32:8; Job 10:4; Salmo 56:4; Salmo 78:39; Isaías 31:3; Jeremias 17:5, "carne y sangre" en el lenguaje del Nuevo Testamento Mateo 16:17; 1 Corintios 15:5; Gálatas 1:16, ante Dios su Hacedor. "Toda carne", toda la raza humana Génesis 6:12; Salmo 65:3; Salmo 145:21;

John 15:11 — him to be a source of joy. Christ rejoices in the obedience of all his friends; and, though his happiness is not dependent on them, yet their fidelity is an object which he desires and in which he finds delight. The same sentiment is expressed in John 17:13.Your joy might be full - That you might be delivered from your despondency and grief at my departure; that you might see the reason why I leave you, be comforted by the Holy Spirit, and be sustained in the arduous trials of your ministry. See 1

John 15:11 — le seguiría siendo una fuente de alegría. Cristo se regocija en la obediencia de todos sus amigos; y, aunque su felicidad no depende de ellos, su fidelidad es un objeto que desea y en el que encuentra deleite. El mismo sentimiento se expresa en Juan 17:13. Tu alegría podría estar llena - Para que puedas liberarte de tu abatimiento y pena a mi partida; para que puedas ver la razón por la que te dejo, ser consolado por el Espíritu Santo y ser sostenido en las arduas pruebas de tu ministerio.

2 Timothy 1 overview — The principal design of 2 Timothy 1:0 is to exhort Timothy to steadfastness and fidelity as a Christian and a minister; and to entreat him to adhere to the truth, and live as became a Christian, in the midst of all the temptations by which he was surrounded, and while so many were turning

2 Timothy 1 overview — El diseño principal de 2 Timoteo 1 es exhortar a Timoteo a la firmeza y la fidelidad como cristiano y un ministro; y para que lo ... se adhiera a la verdad, y vive como se convirtió en cristiano, en medio de todas las tentaciones por las cuales estaba rodeado, y mientras tampoco se estaban

Judges 7:22 — which gave their name to “Shittim” Numbers 33:49 in the plains of Maab, and which grew plentifully also, in the peninsula of Sinai Exodus 25:5 perhaps “Shuttah”, in the valley of Jezreel; or it may be another name of Scythopolis, or Beth-shan (compare 1 Kings 4:12). “Zererath or Zeredath”, near Succoth Judges 8:5, the same as “Zeredah” in Ephraim the birth-place of Jeroboam 1 Kings 11:26, and “Zartauah” 1 Kings 4:12. “Abel-meholah” (field of the dance), the birth-place of Elisha 1 Kings 19:16 is in

1 John 1:2 — the life was manifested - Was made manifest or visible unto us. He who was the life was made known to people by the incarnation. He appeared among people so that they could see him and hear him. Though originally with God, and dwelling with him, John 1:1-2, yet he came forth and appeared among people. Compare the Romans 1:3 note; 1 Timothy 3:16 note. He is the great source of all life, and he appeared on the earth, and we had an opportunity of seeing and knowing what he was.And we have seen it - This

Revelation 3:11 — Behold, I come quickly - That is, in the trials referred to. Compare the notes on Revelation 1:1, Revelation 1:11, Revelation 1:16.Hold that fast which thou hast - That is, whatever of truth and piety you now possess.

Que ningún hombre tome tu corona - La corona de la vida designada para todos los

1 Samuel 10:5 — Hill of God - Rather, “Gibeah” of God, and so in 1 Samuel 10:10. Two things are clear; “one” that Saul had got home when he got to Gibeah of God, for there he found his uncle, and no further journeying is so much as hinted at, and the same word “Gibeah” describes his home at 1 Samuel 10:26. The “other”

1 Samuel 10:6 — Will come upon thee - The word rendered “come,” means to “come” or “pass upon,” as fire does when it breaks out and spreads Amos 5:6; hence, it is frequently used of the Spirit of God passing upon anyone. (See Judges 14:19; Judges 15:14; below 1 Samuel 10:10; 1 Samuel 11:6; 1 Samuel 16:13.)Shalt be turned into another man - This is a remarkable expression, and occurs nowhere else. It describes the change in point of mental power and energy which would result from

1 Samuel 28:19 — Más bien, "también librará a Israel". Saúl no solo había arruinado su propia casa, sino también a Israel; y cuando Saúl y Jonatán cayeran, el campamento (no "anfitrión") sería saqueado por los conquistadores 1 Samuel 31:8; 2 Samuel 1:1.

1 Samuel 7:3-5 — Compara las referencias marginales. Veinte años de la vida de Samuel habían pasado desde la última mención de él 1 Samuel 4:1. Ahora aparece en el triple carácter de profeta, juez y líder reconocido de todo el pueblo. Sus palabras fueron una respuesta a una profesión de arrepentimiento por parte de Israel, cuya prueba práctica sería la eliminación de todos sus dioses

2 Samuel 8:3 — Hadadezer - Not (see the margin) Hadarezer. Hadadezer, is the true form, as seen in the names Benhadad, Hadad (1 Kings 15:18, etc.; 1 Kings 11:14, etc.). Hadad was the chief idol, or sun-god, of the Syrians.To recover his border - literally, to cause his hand to return. The phrase is used sometimes literally, as e. g. Exodus 4:7; 1 Kings 13:4; Proverbs 19:24;
