1 Kings 20:6 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 20:6

Yet I will send my servants unto thee tomorrow about this
time
He gave him twenty four hours to consider of it:

and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants;
the royal palace, and the houses of the noblemen, and even of every of his subjects in Samaria:

and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant (or desirable) in thine
eyes, they shall put it in, their hand, and take it away;
not be content with what should be given, but search for more; and if any in particular was more desirable to the possessor than anything else, that should be sure to be taken away; which was vastly insolent and aggravating.
