2 Kings 18:5
trusted <0982> [trusted.]
kings ....... after <0310 04428> [after him.]
2 Kings 18:19-37
chief adviser <07262> [Rab-shakeh.]
He was the chief speaker, being a very eloquent man, and, according to the Hebrews, whom Procopius follows, an apostate Jew; which is not improbable, as he spoke Hebrew so fluently; and when he blasphemed the Divine Majesty, the king and nobles rent their clothes, which was usual unless the blasphemer were an Israelite.
said .... Tell <0559> [Thus saith.]
confidence <0986> [What confidence.]
claim <0559> [sayest. or, talkest. vain words. Heb. word of the lips. I have counsel and strength for the war. or, but counsel and strength are for the war.]

trust <0982> [thy trust.]
chariots <07393> [chariots.]
marched up ............ March up <05927> [Am I now.]
Speak ............ speak <01696> [Speak.]
Perceiving that the object of this blasphemous caitiff was to stir up the people to sedition, they mildly and reasonably required him to make his proposals in the Syrian language.

gods ......... gods <0430> [the gods.]
Hamath <02574> [Hamath.]
Hamath, there is little doubt, was the Epiphania of the Greeks, as Josephus, Theodoret, and Jerome, expressly assert. It was a celebrated city of Syria, situated on the Orontes, and the present Hamah doubtless occupies its site; as Abulfeda, who was prince or emir of Hamah about A.D. 1345, expressly states, in his Description of Syria, that Hamah is an ancient city mentioned in the writings of the Israelites. It is still a considerable town, situated on both sides of the Orontes, about three days' journey and a half from Tripoli; and must contain, Burckhardt says, at least 30,000 inhabitants.
Arpad <0774> [Arpad.]
Arpad is probably the town of Arphas, mentioned by Josephus as limiting the province of Gamalitis, Gaulanitis, Batanea, and Trachonitis, to the N. E.; and the Raphan, or Raphanea, which Stephanus places near Epiphania.

man <0376 04941> [What manner of man was he? Heb. What was the manner of the man?]
hairy man <01167 08181> [an hairy man.]
That is, he wore a rough garment, either made of camels' hair, as that of John Baptist, or of a skin, dressed with the hair on. Sir J. Chardin informs us, in a MS. note on this place, cited by Mr. Harmer, that the eastern dervishes and fakeers are clothed just as Elijah was, with a hairy garment, girded with a leathern girdle.
sent ... captain <07971 08269> [sent unto.]
sitting <03427> [he sat.]
Prophet <0376> [Thou man.]
prophet <0376> [If I be a man.]
fire .............. Fire <0784> [let fire.]
Or, rather, as the original literally imports, and the LXX. render, [katabesetai pyr,] fire shall come down; Elijah's words being simply declarative, and not imprecatory.
consume ............... consumed <0398> [consumed.]
2 Kings 1:14-16

life <05315> [let my life.]

sent <07971> [Forasmuch.]
Baal Zebub <01176> [Baal-zebub.]
Literally, "the lord of flies;" or, as the LXX. render, [Baal mwean theon,] Baal the fly god. See note on Ex 8:24.
[on which thou are gone up.]
In the East there is usually at the end of each chamber a little gallery, raised three or four feet above the floor, with a balustrade in front, to which they go up by a few steps: here they place their beds; an allusion to which situation is involved in this declaration of Elijah's, and frequently referred to in the Sacred Scriptures: see Ge 49:4.
