1 Reis 14:3

Listen to 1 Reis 14:3
3 Leve para ele dez pães, alguns bolos e uma garrafa de mel. Ele dirá a você o que vai acontecer com o menino”.

1 Reis 14:3 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 14:3

And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse
of honey, and go to him
It being usual to carry a present to a prophet when he was inquired of on any account, see ( 1 Samuel 9:7 ) and this being a plain present, and of such things as the country afforded, she might be taken for a plain countrywoman, and not for such a personage as she was: the ten loaves could not be large for a woman to carry, most probably made of wheat; the cracknels, according to the Greek version in Drusius, were for the prophet's children; they very likely were spiced, or were sweetened with honey, and might be somewhat like our simnels; they seem to have their name in Hebrew from having points and pricks in them for the sake of ornament; such as Plautus F8 calls "scribilitae", because as Turnebus F9 says, they were marked and pricked, and seemed as if they were written:

he shall tell thee what shall become of the child;
whether it should live or die, for that was all he wanted to know; he did not desire to know what should be done to the child for its recovery, nor to request the prophet's prayers for it.

1 Reis 14:3 In-Context

1 Naquela época, Abias, filho de Jeroboão, ficou doente,
2 e este disse à sua mulher: “Use um disfarce, para não ser reconhecida como a mulher de Jeroboão, e vá a Siló, onde vive o profeta Aías, aquele que me disse que eu seria rei sobre este povo.
3 Leve para ele dez pães, alguns bolos e uma garrafa de mel. Ele dirá a você o que vai acontecer com o menino”.
4 A mulher de Jeroboão atendeu a seu pedido e foi à casa de Aías, em Siló.Ora, Aías já não conseguia enxergar; tinha ficado cego por causa da idade.
5 Mas o SENHOR lhe tinha dito: “A mulher de Jeroboão está vindo para perguntar a você acerca do filho dela, pois ele está doente, e você deve responder-lhe assim e assim. Quando ela chegar, vai fingir que é outra pessoa”.
