1 Re 20:24 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 20:24

And do this thing
Also take this further piece of advice:

take the kings away, every man out of his place:
for being brought up delicately, they were not inured to war, nor expert in the art of it; and being addicted to pleasure, gave themselves to that, and drew the king into it, which they observed was the case before, though they did not care to mention it; and if they were tributaries or allies, they would not fight as men do for their own country:

and put captains in their rooms;
of his own people, men of skill and courage, and who would fight both for their own honour, and for the good of their country.

1 Re 20:24 In-Context

22 Allora il profeta si avvicinò al re d’Israele, e gli disse: "Va’, rinforzati; considera bene quel che dovrai fare perché, di qui ad un anno, il re di Siria salirà contro di te".
23 I servi del re di Siria gli dissero: "Gli dèi d’Israele son dèi di montagna; per questo ci hanno vinti; ma diamo la battaglia in pianura, e li vinceremo di certo.
24 E tu fa’ questo: leva ognuno di quei re dal suo luogo, e metti al posto loro de’ capitani;
25 formati quindi un esercito pari a quello che hai perduto, con altrettanti cavalli e altrettanti carri; poi daremo battaglia a costoro in pianura e li vinceremo di certo". Egli accettò il loro consiglio, e fece così.
26 L’anno seguente Ben-Hadad fece la rassegna dei Siri, e salì verso Afek per combattere con Israele.
