2 Kings 16:9 — Rezin met him in the field, was defeated, and slain. An attack upon Pekah followed. Now probably it was that the entire trans-Jordanic region was overrun: and that the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, were carried into captivity 1 Chronicles 5:26. Megiddo and Dor appear also to have been occupied, and the Arabs of the south chastised. Tiglathpileser then returned to Damascus, where a son of Rezin had assumed the crown; he besieged and took the city, and punished Rezin’s son with
2 Kings 25:1 — year ... - As the final catastrophe approaches, the historian becomes more close and exact in his dates, marking not only the year, but the month and the day, on which the siege began, no less than those on which it closed 2 Kings 25:3. From Ezekiel 24:1 we find that on the very day when the host of Nebuchadnezzar made its appearance before Jerusalem the fact was revealed to Ezekiel in Babylonia, and the fate of the city announced to him Ezekiel 24:6-14. The army seems to have at first spread itself
Job 39:9 — un argumento largo y erudito, se ha esforzado por mostrar; que el rinoceronte no puede significar. Hieroz Pi. Lib. iii) capítulo xxvi. Sostiene que se hace referencia a una especie de antílope, el "borde" de los árabes. DeWette (Com. Sobre Salmo 22:21) está de acuerdo con la opinión de Gesenius, Robinson y otros, de que el animal mencionado es el búfalo del continente oriental, el bos bubalus de Linnaeus, un animal que difiere del búfalo americano solo en la forma de los cuernos y la ausencia de
Job 40:16 — of the figure of the hippopotamus will show the accuracy of this. The strength of the elephant is in the neck; of the lion in the paw; of the horse and ox in the shoulders; but the principal power of the river-horse is in the loins; compare Nahum 2:1. This passage is one that proves that the elephant cannot be referred to.And his force is in the navel of his belly - The word which is here rendered “navel” (שׁריר shârı̂yr) means properly “firm, hard, tough,” and in the plural form, which occurs
Job 7:4 — a bed of pain.And the night be gone - Margin, evening be measured. Herder renders this, “the night is irksome to me.” The word rendered night (ערב ‛ereb) properly means the early part of the night, until it is succeeded by the dawn. Thus, in Genesis 1:5,” And the evening (ערב ‛ereb) and the morning were the first day.” Here it means the portion of the night which is before the dawning of the aurora - the night. The word rendered “be gone” and in the margin “be measured” ( מדּד mı̂ddad), has been
Psalms 17:2 — that they had done him injustice and wrong; he felt assured that a sentence or judgment from God in the case would be in his favor. So Job often felt that if he could bring his case directly before God, God would decide in his favor. Compare Job 23:1-6.Come forth from thy presence - From before thee. That is, he asks God to pronounce a sentence in his case.Let thine eyes behold - He asked God to examine the case with his own eyes, or attentively to consider it, and to see where justice was.The things
Psalms 50:10 — claim to dispose of it at his pleasure. God has never given to man the absolute proprietorship in “any” thing; nor does he invade our rights when he comes and claims what we possess, or when in any way he removes what is most valuable to us. Compare Job 1:21.
Leviticus 2:4-10 — still used in the East. The variety of the offerings was most likely permitted to suit the different circumstances of the worshippers.Leviticus 2:4Oven - This was probably a portable vessel of earthenware; in shape a cone about 3 ft. 6 in. high, and 1 ft. 6 in. in diameter. Similar jars are now used for the same purpose by the Arabs. After the vessel has been thoroughly heated by a fire lighted in the inside, the cakes are placed within it, and the top is covered up until they are sufficiently baked.
2 Corinthians 2:17 — selling them again. It also means sometimes a vintner, or an innkeeper. The proper idea is that of a small dealer and especially in wine. Such persons were notorious, as they are now, for diluting their wines with water (compare the Septuagint in Isaiah 1:22); and for compounding wines of other substances than the juice of the grape for purposes of gain. Wine, of all substances in trade, perhaps, affords the greatest facilities for such dishonest tricks; and, accordingly, the dealers in that article
2 Corinthians 2:17 — También significa a veces un viticultor, o un posadero. La idea adecuada es la de un pequeño distribuidor y especialmente en el vino. Tales personas fueron notorias, como lo son ahora, por diluir sus vinos con agua (compare la Septuaginta en Isaías 1:22); y para agravar los vinos de otras sustancias que el jugo de la uva para fines de ganancia. El vino, de todas las sustancias en el comercio, quizás, ofrece las mejores instalaciones para tales trucos deshonestos; Y, en consecuencia, los distribuidores
1 Thessalonians 5:17 — Ore sin cesar - Vea las notas en Romanos 12:12. La dirección aquí se puede interpretar bastante como significado: (1) Que debemos ser regulares y constantes en la observancia de las estaciones de oración establecidas. Debemos observar el deber de la oración en el armario, en la familia y en
Hebrews 1:5 — is a difficulty, as we shall see, in applying the passages which follow to the Messiah - a difficulty which we may find it not easy to explain. Some remarks will be made on the particular passages as we go along. In general it may be observed here:(1) That it is to be presumed that those passages were in the time of Paul applied to the Messiah. He seems to argue from them as though this was commonly understood, and is at no pains to prove it.(2) It is to be presumed that those to whom he wrote would
Hebrews 1:5 — dificultad, como veremos, en la aplicación de los pasajes que siguen al Mesías, una dificultad que quizás no sea fácil de explicar. Se harán algunas observaciones sobre los pasajes particulares a medida que avanzamos. En general se puede observar aquí: (1) Que se presume que esos pasajes fueron en el tiempo de Pablo aplicados al Mesías. Parece argumentar de ellos como si esto se entendiera comúnmente, y no se esfuerza por demostrarlo. (2) Es de suponerse que aquellos a quienes escribió lo admitirían
James 2:4 — sentido parece no ser difícil. Hay dos ideas en él: una es que mostraron con esta conducta que asumieron la responsabilidad de ser jueces, pronunciarse sobre el carácter de los hombres que eran extraños y sobre sus reclamos de respeto (Compare Mateo 7:1); la otra es que al hacer esto, no fueron guiados por reglas justas, sino que lo hicieron bajo la influencia de "pensamientos" inapropiados. No lo hicieron por benevolencia; no por el deseo de hacer justicia a todos de acuerdo con su carácter moral;
1 Peter 3:9 — No representa mal por mal - Vea las notas Mateo 5:39, Mateo 5:44; Romanos 12:17 nota. O barandilla para barandilla - Vea las notas en 1 Timoteo 6:4. Compare Marco 15:29; Lucas 23:39. Pero al contrario bendición - En un espíritu contrario a esto. Vea las notas en Mateo 5:44. Sabiendo que a ustedes se les llama, para
Revelation 16:10 — centro del poder de la bestia - aún no había sido alcanzado. Aquí, sin embargo, hubo un golpe directo dirigido a ese poder, aún no tan seguro como para asegurar su derrocamiento final, ya que está reservado para el vertido del último vial, Apocalipsis 16:17. Todo lo que se representa aquí es un juicio pesado que fue meramente preliminar a ese derrocamiento final, pero que afectó el asiento mismo de la bestia. La frase "el asiento de la bestia" - τὸν θρόνον τοῦ θηρίου ton thronon tou thēriou - significa
Revelation 18:23 — brillará más en ti - Otra imagen de desolación, como si se apagaran todas las luces y hubiera oscuridad total. Y la voz del novio y de la novia no se oirá más en ti - La voz alegre y alegre de la procesión matrimonial en las calles (notas en Mateo 25:1), o la voz alegre y alegre de la pareja de recién casados ​​en su propia vivienda (notas en Juan 3:29). Porque tus mercaderes eran los grandes hombres de la tierra - Los que te trataron fueron los ricos, y entre ellos estaban incluso nobles y príncipes;
Revelation 19:11 — Y vi el cielo abierto - Vio una nueva visión, como si se abriera un cielo, y se le permitió mirar al cielo. Vea las notas en Apocalipsis 4:1. Y he aquí, un caballo blanco - En el caballo blanco como símbolo, vea las notas en Apocalipsis 6:2. Él es aquí el símbolo de la victoria final que se obtendrá sobre la bestia y el falso profeta Apocalipsis 19:2, y del triunfo final de la iglesia.
Revelation 9:13 — símbolo del cielo, y esta idea ocurre constantemente en las Escrituras. Compare la epístola con el hebreo passim. El altar de oro estaba en el lugar sagrado, entre la mesa del pan de la proposición y el candelabro de oro. Vea las notas en Hebreos 9:1. Este altar, hecho de madera de acacia o shittim, estaba adornado en las cuatro esquinas y recubierto con láminas de oro. Por lo tanto, se llamaba "el altar de oro", en contraste con el altar para el sacrificio, que estaba hecho de piedra. Compare las
2 Samuel 2:10 — friend of his older brother Jonathan. The age, too, of Jonathan’s child, Mephibosheth, who was five years old at his father’s death, would lead one to expect rather a less age for his uncle. Next, as regards the two years. Since David (compare 2 Samuel 2:11; and marginal references) reigned seven years in Hebron over Judah only, it follows, if the two years in the text are correct, either that an interval of five years elapsed between Ish-bosheth’s death and David’s being anointed “king over all Israel,”
