1 Reis 22:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:11

And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron
Horns are emblems of power and might, and iron ones of greater strength still; the prophets sometimes made use of visible signs, to represent the things they prophesied of should come to pass, see ( Isaiah 20:2 Isaiah 20:3 ) ( Jeremiah 27:2 ) , and the same method this prophet took:

and he saith, thus saith the Lord; imitating the true prophets: with
these shall thou push the Syrians until thou hast consumed them:
Abarbinel thinks he had in view the blessing of Joseph by Moses, ( Deuteronomy 33:17 ) where he is compared to a bullock with horns; and these said to be the ten thousands of Ephraim, and the thousands of Manasseh; and Ahab being of the tribe of Joseph, and ruling in Ephraim and Manasseh, the prophet chose to make use of this emblem for his encouragement.

1 Reis 22:11 In-Context

9 Então o rei de Israel chamou um dos seus oficiais e disse: “Traga Micaías, filho de Inlá, imediatamente”.
10 Usando vestes reais, o rei de Israel e Josafá, rei de Judá, estavam sentados em seus tronos, na eira, junto à porta de Samaria, e todos os profetas estavam profetizando em transe diante deles.
11 E Zedequias, filho de Quenaaná, tinha feito chifres de ferro e declarou: “Assim diz o SENHOR: ‘Com estes chifres tu ferirás os arameus até que sejam destruídos’.”
12 Todos os outros profetas estavam profetizando a mesma coisa, dizendo: “Ataca Ramote-Gileade, e serás vitorioso, pois o SENHOR a entregará nas mãos do rei”.
13 O mensageiro que tinha ido chamar Micaías lhe disse: “Veja, todos os outros profetas estão predizendo que o rei terá sucesso. Sua palavra também deve ser favorável”.
