1 Reis 21:17 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 21:17

And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the prophet
Where he now was, when this word came to him, is not certain; nor what he had been employed in for some time past, since we hear nothing of him since the unction of Elisha, other prophets of lesser note being employed in messages to Ahab from time to time; perhaps Elijah, while Ahab was engaged in war with the king of Syria, spent his time in founding or reviving the schools of the prophets, and instructing and training up those that were in them for public usefulness, since we afterwards hear of them; the word that came to him is, by the Targum, called the word of prophecy, as indeed it was, foretelling the destruction of Ahab and his house: saying; as follows.

1 Reis 21:17 In-Context

15 Ora, ouvindo Jezabel que Nabote fora apedrejado e morrera, disse a Acabe: Levanta-te e toma posse da vinha de Nabote, e jizreelita, a qual ele recusou dar-te por dinheiro; porque Nabote já não vive, mas é morto.

16 Quando Acabe ouviu que Nabote já era morto, levantou-se para descer � vinha de Nabote, o jizreelita, a fim de tomar posse dela.

17 Então veio a palavra do Senhor a Elias, o tisbita, dizendo:

18 Levanta-te, desce para encontrar-te com Acabe, rei de Israel, que está em Samária. Eis que está na vinha de Nabote, aonde desceu a fim de tomar posse dela.

19 E falar-lhe-ás, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: Porventura não mataste e tomaste a herança? Falar-lhe-ás mais, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: No lugar em que os cães lamberam o sangue de Nabote, lamberão também o teu próprio sangue.
