1 Kings 21:10

21:10

two <08147 0582> [two men.]

villains <01121 01100> [sons of Belial.]

cursed <01288> [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 [eulogese,] {benedixit,} "blessed." It is no unusual thing for a word to have opposite senses.
