Give me The request of Ahab, at first view, appears fair and honourable. But, as he most evidentially wished Naboth to alienate it finally, which was expressly forbidden and provided against in the law of God (Lev 25:14-28), it was high iniquity in Ahab to tempt him to do it, and to covet it showed the depravity of his soul.

Thou didst blaspheme Some, with Parkhurst, would render the original, bairachta elohim wamailech, "Thou hast blessed the gods and Molech;" a sense, however, which seems extremely forced, and is not acknowledged by any of the ancient versions, though the LXX and Vulgate render bairachta by ευλογησε, benedixit, "blessed."

In the place This punishment, on Ahab's humiliation and repentance, was transferred from him to his son Jehoram (1Kgs 21:29), in whom it was literally accomplished. See the parallel texts. 1Kgs 22:38; Judg 1:7; 2Sam 12:11; 2Kgs 9:25-26; Esth 7:10; Ps 7:15-16; Ps 9:16, Ps 58:10-11; Matt 7:2

Mr. Bruce says, that when at Gondar, "the bodies of those killed by the sword were hewn to pieces and scattered about the streets, being denied burial. I was miserable, and almost driven to despair, at seeing my hunting dogs, twice let loose by the carelessness of my servants, bringing into the court-yard the heads and arms of slaughtered men, and which I could no way prevent, but by the destruction of the dogs themselves."
