1 Kings 21:10

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge · Canne, Browne, Blayney, Scott, and others · Public Domain

two men: Deuteronomy 19:15; Matthew 26:59-60; Acts 6:11

sons of Belial: Deuteronomy 13:13; Judges 19:22

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." It is no unusual thing for a word to have opposite senses. Exodus 22:28; Leviticus 24:15; Matthew 26:59-66; John 10:33; Acts 6:13
