Ben-Hadad, not content with Ahab's homage, besieges Samaria13. By the direction of a prophet, the Syrians are slain 22. As the prophet forewarned Ahab, the Syrians come against him in Aphek 28. By the word of the prophet, and God's judgment, the Syrians are smitten again 31. The Syrians submit; Ahab sends Ben-Hadad away with a covenant 35. The prophet, under the parable of a prisoner, 39. making Ahab judge himself, denounces God's judgment against him Verse 3. - Thy silver and thy gold is mine [Heb. mine it is]; thy wives also and thy children [Nothing reveals Ben-hadad's object more clearly than the mention of Ahab's wives. When we consider how jealously the seraglio of an Eastern prince is guarded, and how the surrender of the harem is a virtual surrender of the throne (2 Samuel 16:21, 22; note on 1 Kings 2:22), and certainly a surrender of all manhood and self-respect, we see that his aim was to wound Ahab in his tenderest point, to humble him to the lowest depths of degradation, and possibly to force a quarrel upon him], even the goodliest [The LXX. omits this. Bahr says the word can only apply to the sons, and that it must mean the most eminent young men of the city - not Ahab's children - whom Ben-hadad demanded as hostages. But against this is (1) Ahab's answer, "All that I have," etc.; (2) the fact that Ben-hadad obviously meant insult and plunder; and (3) the language of ver. 7, where see note], are mine. [Heb. mine are they. Rawlinson would explain this excessive demand of the Syrian king by the assumption that when it was made the siege had already lasted a long time, and that the people were now reduced to the greatest straits, circumstances which the historian, with the characteristic brevity of the sacred writers, omits to mention. But really no such supposition is needed. The overwhelming force which Ben-hadad had at his back would, in his eyes, justify any demands. And the prima facie view of ver. 2 is that the messengers were sent on the first approach of the army, or rather at the beginning of the siege.] Hebrew saying,וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (way·yō·mer) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular Strong's 559: To utter, say “This is what ל֗וֹ (lōw) Preposition | third person masculine singular Strong's Hebrew Ben-hadad הֲדַ֔ד (hă·ḏaḏ) Noun - proper - masculine singular Strong's 1130: Ben-hadad -- 'son of Hadad', the name of several Aramean (Syrian) kings says: אָמַ֣ר (’ā·mar) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular Strong's 559: To utter, say ‘Your silver כַּסְפְּךָ֥ (kas·pə·ḵā) Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singular Strong's 3701: Silver, money and gold וּֽזְהָבְךָ֖ (ū·zə·hā·ḇə·ḵā) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singular Strong's 2091: Gold, something gold-colored, as oil, a clear sky are ה֑וּא (hū) Pronoun - third person masculine singular Strong's 1931: He, self, the same, this, that, as, are mine, לִֽי־ (lî-) Preposition | first person common singular Strong's Hebrew and your best הַטּוֹבִ֖ים (haṭ·ṭō·w·ḇîm) Article | Adjective - masculine plural Strong's 2896: Pleasant, agreeable, good wives וְנָשֶׁ֧יךָ (wə·nā·še·ḵā) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine plural construct | second person masculine singular Strong's 802: Woman, wife, female and children וּבָנֶ֛יךָ (ū·ḇā·ne·ḵā) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine singular Strong's 1121: A son are הֵֽם׃ (hêm) Pronoun - third person masculine plural Strong's 1992: They mine!’” לִי־ (lî-) Preposition | first person common singular Strong's Hebrew Links 1 Kings 20:3 NIV1 Kings 20:3 NLT 1 Kings 20:3 ESV 1 Kings 20:3 NASB 1 Kings 20:3 KJV 1 Kings 20:3 BibleApps.com 1 Kings 20:3 Biblia Paralela 1 Kings 20:3 Chinese Bible 1 Kings 20:3 French Bible 1 Kings 20:3 Catholic Bible OT History: 1 Kings 20:3 Your silver and your gold is mine (1Ki iKi i Ki 1 Kg 1kg) |
