(9) And the king of Israel . . . sat either of them on his throne.--Rather, Now the king of Israel . . . were sitting each on his throne. Clothed in their robes.--The pronoun, which is indispensable if this be the meaning, is wanting in the Hebrew. The Syriac has probably preserved the original reading: "Clothed in raiment spotted white and black." (Vid. infr.) And they sat.--Were sitting. Explanatory addition by chronicler. A void place.--A threshingfloor. LXX., ?? ?? ????????, "in the open ground;" Vulg., "in a threshing. floor." The word is probably corrupt, and may have originated out of b?ruddim, "spotted," i.e., perhaps embroidered; an epithet of robes. Prophesied.--Were prophesying. "Vaticina-bantur," Vulg. Verse 9. - The contents of this and the following two verses narrate either what had already taken place, or the continuation of the scene that had not come to its end, but had been interrupted in order to carry out fully the urgent exhortation of Jehoshaphat "to-day," so that Ahab sent at once there and then a messenger for Micaiah. Any way, the unreal prophets have their full opportunity and their say at least twice over, as also Micaiah below (vers. 14, 16, 18-22, 27). A void place; i.e. a level floor; Revised Version, an open place. The Hebrew word designates often just a "threshing-floor," גּרֶן; but quite possibly here, a recognized court at the gate of the city, used for judgment, is intended.Parallel Commentaries ...
