1 Reis 20:14 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 20:14

And Ahab said, by whom?
&c.] Knowing he had no army with him sufficient to go out with against the Syrian army:

and he said, thus saith the Lord, even by the young men of the princes
of the provinces;
either such, as Kimchi thinks, who were brought up with him; or, as others, the sons of governors of provinces, who were kept as hostages, that their fathers might not rebel; neither of which is likely: but rather the servants of such princes who waited on them, and lived delicately and at ease, and were not trained up to military exercise, even by these should the victory be obtained:

then he said, who shall order the battle?
begin the attack, we or they? or who shall conduct it, or be the general of the army, go before it, and lead them on? Ahab might think, being an idolater, that the Lord would not make use of him, or otherwise who could be thought of but himself?

and he answered, thou;
thou must be the commander, go forth with the army, and make the attack upon the enemy.

1 Reis 20:14 In-Context

12 Ben-Hadade recebeu essa mensagem quando ele e os reis estavam bebendo em suas tendas, e ordenou aos seus homens: “Preparem-se para atacar a cidade”. E eles lhe obedeceram.
13 Nessa ocasiĂŁo, um profeta foi atĂ© Acabe, rei de Israel, e anunciou: “Assim diz o SENHOR: ‘VĂȘ este exĂ©rcito enorme? Hoje eu o entregarei nas suas mĂŁos, e entĂŁo vocĂȘ saberĂĄ que eu sou o SENHOR’.”
14 “Mas quem farĂĄ isso?”, perguntou Acabe.O profeta respondeu: “Assim diz o SENHOR: ‘Os jovens soldados dos lĂ­deres das provĂ­ncias o farĂŁo’.”“E quem começarĂĄ a batalha?”, perguntou.O profeta respondeu: “VocĂȘ”.
15 EntĂŁo Acabe convocou os jovens soldados dos lĂ­deres das provĂ­ncias, duzentos e trinta e dois homens. Em seguida reuniu o restante dos israelitas, sete mil ao todo.
16 Eles partiram ao meio-dia, enquanto Ben-Hadade e os trinta e dois reis aliados a ele estavam se embriagando nas suas tendas.
