1 Kings 20:23

20:23

God .... god <0430> [Their gods.]

It was the general belief in the heathen world, that each district had its tutelary and protecting deity, who could do nothing out of his own province.

Psalms 139:1-10

139:1

psalm <04210> [A.M. 2956. B.C. 1048. (Title.) A Psalm.]

This Psalm is supposed to have been composed by David when made king of Israel; though some think it was written by him when accused of traitorous designs against Saul. It is a most sublime ode on the wisdom, knowledge, presence, and justice of God: the sentiments are grand, the style highly elevated, and the images various, beautiful, and impressive.

Sheol <07585> [in hell.]

139:9

fly <05375> [If I take.]

Light has been proved, by many experiments, to travel at the astonishing rate of 194,188 miles in one second of time; and comes from the sun to the earth, a distance of 95,513,794 miles in 8 minutes and nearly 12 seconds! But, could I even fly upon the wings or rays of the morning light, which diffuses itself with such velocity over the globe from east to west, instead of being beyond Thy reach, or by this sudden transition be able to escape Thy notice, Thy arm could still at pleasure prevent or arrest my progress, and I should still be encircled with the immensity of Thy essence. The sentiment in this noble passage is remarkably striking and the description truly sublime.

wings <03671> [the wings.]

settle <07931> [dwell.]

Ezekiel 20:32-35

Jonah 1:3-4

1:3

escape <01272> [to flee.]

from .................................... from <06440> [from.]

Joppa <03305> [Joppa.]

Tarshish ..................... Tarshish ................ Tarshish <08659> [Tarshish.]

As Jonah embarked at Joppa, a seaport on the Mediterranean, it was probably either Tarsus in Cilicia, or rather Tartessus in Spain, to which he intended to flee. When we reflect how such a message would be received in the streets of London at this day, we shall not wonder at the prophet's reluctance to announce the destruction of the proud and idolatrous Nineveh.

1:4

Lord <03068> [the Lord.]

hurled <02904> [sent out. Heb. cast forth. like. Heb. thought.]
