1 Reyes 20:26 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 20:26

And it came to pass at the return of the year
In the spring, or autumn, as some think, (See Gill on 2 Samuel 11:1)

that Benhadad numbered the Syrians;
took a muster of his army, to see if he had got the number he had before:

and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel;
not that in Judah, ( Joshua 15:53 ) , rather that in Asher, ( Joshua 19:30 ) , but it seems to be that which Adrichomius F12 places in Issachar, near to the famous camp of Esdraelon, or valley of Jezreel, where it is probable the king of Syria intended to have fought; the battle; and some travellers, as he observes, say F13, the ruins of that city are still shown in that great camp or plain, not far from Gilboa, to the east of Mount Carmel, and five miles from Tabor; according to Bunting F14, it was fourteen miles from Samaria; but it may be Aphaca near Mount Lebanon, and the river Adonis F15, is meant.

1 Reyes 20:26 In-Context

24 Haz, pues, esto: quita a los reyes, cada uno de su puesto, y pon capitanes en su lugar,
25 y alista un ej茅rcito como el ej茅rcito que perdiste, caballo por caballo y carro por carro. Entonces pelearemos contra ellos en la llanura, pues 驴no seremos m谩s fuertes que ellos? El escuch贸 su consejo y lo hizo as铆.
26 Y sucedi贸 que a la vuelta del a帽o, Ben-adad alist贸 a los arameos y subi贸 a Afec para pelear contra Israel.
27 Y los hijos de Israel fueron alistados y provistos de raciones, y fueron a su encuentro; los hijos de Israel acamparon delante de ellos como dos reba帽uelos de cabras pero los arameos llenaban la tierra.
28 Entonces un hombre de Dios se acerc贸 y habl贸 al rey de Israel, y dijo: As铆 dice el SE脩OR: "Porque los arameos han dicho: 'El SE脩OR es un dios de los montes, pero no es un dios de los valles; por tanto, entregar茅 a toda esta gran multitud en tu mano, y sabr谩s que yo soy el SE脩OR.'"
