Listen to 1 Reis 20:7

1 Reis 20:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 20:7

Then the King of Israel called all the elders of the land
His poor sneaking spirit was a little aroused with the last message, and therefore called a council of the elders of the people upon it, which was a piece of wisdom in him:

and said, mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief;
nothing less than the entire ruin of the nation:

for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my
silver, and for my gold, and I denied him not;
in the sense he understood him, which was, that he was to be a vassal, and tributary to him, for the sake of holding these, which yet was very mean; but he wanted to have these in hand, and not them only, but the pillaging of all his subjects.

1 Reis 20:7 In-Context

5 Os mensageiros voltaram ao rei e disseram: “Assim diz Ben-Hadade: ‘Mandei tomar sua prata e seu ouro, suas mulheres e seus filhos.
6 Mas amanhã, a esta hora, enviarei meus oficiais para vasculharem o seu palácio e as casas dos seus oficiais. Eles me trarão tudo o que você considera de valor’.”
7 O rei de Israel convocou todas as autoridades de Israel e lhes disse: “Vejam como esse homem está querendo a nossa desgraça! Quando mandou tomar as minhas mulheres e os meus filhos, a minha prata e o meu ouro, eu não lhe neguei!”
8 As autoridades e todo o povo responderam: “Não lhe dês atenção nem concordes com as suas exigências”.
9 E ele respondeu aos mensageiros de Ben-Hadade: “Digam ao rei, meu senhor: ‘Teu servo fará tudo o que exigiste na primeira vez, mas não posso atender a esta exigência’.” E eles levaram a resposta a Ben-Hadade.
