1 Reyes 20:33

Listen to 1 Reyes 20:33
33 Y los hombres tomaron esto como señal, y tomando de él la palabra prestamente dijeron: Tu hermano Ben-adad vive. Y él dijo: Id, traedlo. Entonces Ben-adad salió a él, y él le hizo subir en el carro.

1 Reyes 20:33 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 20:33

Now the men did diligently observe whether anything would
come from him
That would be a good omen to them, and encourage them to hope for success; they observed him as diligently by his words and behaviour as soothsayers do when they look out for a lucky sign; for the word is sometimes used of divining F19:

and did hastily catch it;
as soon as it was out of his mouth, and laid hold on it to improve it to advantage, being wiser than him:

and they said, thy brother Benhadad;
him whom thou callest thy brother; he is thy brother, and is alive; this they caught, and expressed it, to observe whether it was a slip of his tongue, and whether he spoke it heartily, and would abide by it, or whether he would retract it:

then he said, go ye, bring him;
meaning from the city to the place where he was:

then Benhadad came forth to him;
out of his chamber, upon the report of his servants:

and he caused him to come up into the chariot;
to sit and converse with him there.

1 Reyes 20:33 In-Context

31 Y sus siervos le dijeron: He aquí, hemos oído que los reyes de la casa de Israel son reyes misericordiosos; te rogamos que nos dejes poner cilicio en nuestros lomos y cuerdas sobre nuestras cabezas, y salgamos al rey de Israel; quizás él salve tu vida.
32 Se ciñeron cilicio en sus lomos, pusieron cuerdas sobre sus cabezas y vinieron al rey de Israel, y dijeron: Tu siervo Ben-adad dice: "Te ruego que me perdones la vida." Y él dijo: ¿Vive todavía? Es mi hermano.
33 Y los hombres tomaron esto como señal, y tomando de él la palabra prestamente dijeron: Tu hermano Ben-adad vive. Y él dijo: Id, traedlo. Entonces Ben-adad salió a él, y él le hizo subir en el carro.
34 Y Ben-adad le dijo: Devolveré las ciudades que mi padre tomó de tu padre, y te harás calles en Damasco, como mi padre hizo en Samaria. Y yo, dijo Acab, con este pacto te dejaré ir. Hizo, pues, pacto con él y lo dejó ir.
35 Y cierto hombre de los hijos de los profetas dijo a otro por palabra del SEÑOR: Te ruego que me hieras. Pero el hombre se negó a herirlo.
