Chapter 13

1
a prophet That is, one pretending to the divine inspiration and authority of the prophetic office, or a dreamer of dreams, one who pretends that some deity has spoken to him in the night season, and giveth thee a sign, oth, what appears to be a miraculous proof of his mission, or a wonder, mopheth, some portentous sign, such as an eclipse, which he, who knew when it would happen, might predict to the people, who knew nothing of the matter, and thereby accredit his pretensions. But no pretended miracles must be admitted as a proof that the people might violate the first and great commandment. 1Kgs 13:18; Isa 9:15; Jer 6:13, Jer 23:11; Ezek 13:2-3, Ezek 13:23; Zech 13:4; Matt 7:15, Matt 24:11; Luke 6:26; 2Pet 2:1; 1John 4:1

Belial Belial is derived by some from beli, not, and âl, over, i.e., one so proud and envious as not to bear a superior; by others, from beli, not, and ol, a yoke, i.e., a lawless, ungovernable person, ανδρες παρανομοι, "lawless men," as the LXX render. It is, however, more probably derived from beli, not, and yaâl, profit, i.e., a worthless person, good for nothing to himself or others, and capable of nothing but mischief.
