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 Entonces sus funcionarios le dijeron: «Hemos oído decir que los reyes del linaje de Israel son compasivos. Rindámonos ante el rey de Israel y pidámosle perdón. Tal vez le perdone a usted la vida».
32 Se presentaron entonces ante el rey de Israel, se rindieron ante él y le rogaron:—Su siervo Ben Adad dice: “Por favor, perdóname la vida”.—¿Todavía está vivo? —preguntó el rey—. ¡Pero si es mi hermano!
33 Los hombres tomaron esa respuesta como un buen augurio y, aprovechando la ocasión, exclamaron:—¡Claro que sí, Ben Adad es su hermano!—Vayan por él —dijo el rey.Cuando Ben Adad se presentó ante Acab, este lo hizo subir a su carro de combate. Entonces Ben Adad le propuso:
34 —Te devolveré las ciudades que mi padre le quitó al tuyo, y podrás establecer zonas de mercado en Damasco, como lo hizo mi padre en Samaria.Acab le respondió:—Sobre esa base, te dejaré en libertad.Y así firmó un tratado con él, y lo dejó ir.
35 En obediencia a la palabra del SEÑOR, un miembro de la comunidad de profetas le dijo a otro:—¡Golpéame!Pero aquel se negó a hacerlo.
