1 Kings 2:30
1 Kings 18:44
small cloud <06996 05645> [a little cloud.]
{Kekaph ish,} "like the hollow of a man's hand;" in the form of a hand bent, the concave side downmost. Mr. Bruce mentions a similar cloud in Abyssinia, as attending the inundation of the Nile. "Every morning, about nine, a small cloud, not above four feet broad, appears in the east, whirling violently round, as if upon an axis; but arrived near the zenith, it first abates its motion, then loses its form, and extends itself greatly, and seems to call up vapours from all opposite quarters. These clouds having attained nearly the same height, rush against each other with great violence, and put me always in mind of Elijah foretelling rain on Mount Carmel."
Hitch up <0631> [Prepare. Heb. Tie, or Bind.]
1 Kings 19:20
left <05800> [he left.]
kiss <05401> [Let me, I pray.]
back <07725 03212> [Go back again. Heb. Go, return.]
1 Kings 22:4
<03212> [Wilt thou go.]
support <03644> [I am as thou.]
1 Kings 22:15
<03212> [shall we go.]
succeed <06743 03212> [Go and prosper.]
This was strong irony; they were the precise words of the false prophets; but were spoken by Micaiah in such a tone and manner as at once shewed Ahab that he did not believe, but ridiculed these words of uncertainty. The reply of the Delphian oracle to Crosesus was as ambiguous as that returned to Pyrrhus, {Croesus Halym penetrans magnam pervertet opum vim,} "If Croesus crosses the Halys, he will overthrow a great empire." This he understood of the empire of Cyrus; the event proved it to be his own: he was deluded, yet the oracle maintained its credit.
1 Kings 22:17
saw <07200> [I saw.]
sheep <06629> [as sheep.]
