Bible Commentaries

1 Kings 22:6 — The prophets - i. e., In all probability the prophets attached to the worship of the calves; not real prophets of Yahweh. This seems evident both from Jehoshaphat’s dissatisfaction 1 Kings 22:7, and from the strong antagonism apparent between the true Yahweh-prophet Micaiah, and these self-styled “prophets of the Lord” 1 Kings 22:22-25.The Lord shall deliver it - In the Hebrew the word here used for “Lord” is אדני 'ǎdonāy. Later

1 Kings 22:6 — Los profetas - i. e., con toda probabilidad los profetas apegados a la adoración de los terneros; no verdaderos profetas de Yahweh. Esto parece evidente tanto por la insatisfacción de Josafat 1 Reyes 22:7, como por el fuerte antagonismo aparente entre el verdadero profeta Yahweh Micaiah, y estos autodenominados "profetas del Señor" 1 Reyes 22:22. El Señor lo entregará - En hebreo, la palabra aquí utilizada para "Señor" es אדני 'ǎdonāy

2 Kings 10:33 — The loss of the entire trans-Jordanic territory seems to be intended, or at any rate its complete ruin and devastation (compare marginal reference “y”). This was the home of the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and of the half tribe of Manasseh Joshua 22:1-9. It was more accessible from Damascus than the region west of the river.Aroer - There were several places of this name. The one here mentioned is the most famous (compare Deuteronomy 2:36 note).Even Gilead and Bashan - The writer had previously called

2 Kings 10:33 — pérdida de todo el territorio transjordano parece ser intencional, o en cualquier caso su ruina y devastación completas (compárese con la referencia marginal "y").

Aroer - Había varios lugares con este nombre. El que se menciona aquí es el más famoso (compárese Deuteronomio 2:36 nota). Incluso Gilead y Bashan - El escritor había llamado previamente

2 Chronicles 14:1 — Asa his son reigned - If Rehoboam was (1 Kings 12:8 note) not more than 21 years old at his accession, Asa, when he mounted the throne, must have been a mere boy, not more than 10 or 11 years of age.The land was quiet ten years - The great blow struck by Abijah 2 Chronicles 13:15-19, his alliance

Psalms 147:1 — Alabado sea el Señor - Aleluya. Ver Salmo 146:1. Porque es bueno cantar alabanzas a nuestro Dios - Ver las notas en Salmo 92:1: "Es bueno dar gracias a El Señor."

Psalms 149:1 — Praise ye the Lord - Margin, Hallelujah. See the notes at Psalms 146:1.Sing unto the Lord a new song - As if there was a new and a special occasion for praise.

Psalms 66:10 — The nature of the proof or trial is referred to in the following verses.Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried - That is, by being subjected to appropriate tests to ascertain its real nature, and to remove from it imperfections.

Psalms 80:8 — Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt - Referring to his people, under the image (which often occurs in the Scriptures) of a vine or vineyard. See the notes at Isaiah 5:1-7.

Proverbs 8:12 — La sabiduría primero dice advertencias ( Proverbios 1:24 nota), luego promete ( Proverbios 2:1 nota); pero aquí ella no promete ni amenaza, sino que habla de su propia excelencia. La “prudencia” es la “sutileza” (ver el margen), la astucia de la serpiente Génesis 3:1, en sí misma neutral, pero capaz de

Isaiah 16 overview — Este capítulo Isaías 16:1 es una continuación de la primera, y su alcance es, aconsejar a los moabitas y amenazarlos con un castigo en caso de que, como el profeta previó, debieran descuidar o rechazar para seguirlo. El consejo fue Isaías 16:1, para enviar el tributo habitual

Matthew 19:11 — - in times of persecution and trial, or for the sake of laboring in the cause of religion without the care and burden of a family. It might be good for many to live, as some of the apostles did, without marriage, but it was not given to all people, 1Co 7:1, 1 Corinthians 7:7,1 Corinthians 7:9. To be married, or unmarried, might be lawful, according to circumstances, 1 Corinthians 7:26.

Ephesians 4:19 — state of a sinner. He has no “feeling,” no emotion. He often gives an intellectual assent to the truth, But it is without emotion of any kind. The heart is insensible as the hard rock.Have given themselves over - They have done it voluntarily. In Romans 1:24, it is said that “God gave them up.” There is no inconsistency.

2 Timothy 4:22 — The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit; - see Galatians 6:18; Romans 15:20. The subscription to this Epistle was not added by Paul himself, nor is there any evidence that it was by an inspired man, and it is of no authority. There is not the slightest evidence that Timothy was “ordained the first bishop of the

Judges 6:14 — The Lord looked upon him - That gracious look conferred immediate strength (compare Ephesians 6:10; 2 Corinthians 12:9; John 20:22; Acts 3:6) The change of phrase from “the angel of the Lord” to “the Lord” is remarkable. When messages are delivered by the Angel of the Lord, the form of the message is as if God Himself were speaking (compare Judges

1 Samuel 2:35 — Zadok is meant rather than Samuel. The High Priesthood continued in the direct descendants of Zadok as long as the monarchy lasted (see 1 Chronicles 6:8-15).Mine anointed - in its first sense obviously means the kings of Israel and Judah Psalms 89:20; Zechariah 4:14. But doubtless the use of the term MESSIAH (Χριστὸς Christos) here and in 1 Samuel 2:10, is significant, and points to

1 Samuel 31:7 — Los hombres al otro lado del valle - Esto debe significar al norte de la llanura de Jezreel, y comprendería la tribu de Neftalí y Zabulón, y probablemente Isacar. Pero el texto de 1 Crónicas 10:7 tiene "que estaban en el valle", lo que limita la declaración a los habitantes de la llanura de Jezreel. En el otro lado Jordan - Esta frase significa más comúnmente en el este de Jordania, se supone que el hablante está en el lado oeste.

2 Samuel 18:19 — Ahimaaz era un corredor conocido 2 Samuel 18:27. La velocidad era una virtud heroica en esos tiempos simples (compárese 2 Samuel 2:18). En el reinado de Ezequías 2 Crónicas 30:6, 2 Crónicas 30:1 encontramos un establecimiento de post-men en ejecución; y el mismo nombre ("corredores") se da
