1 Reyes 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 Reyes 20:24 In-Context

22 Llegándose luego el profeta al rey de Israel, le dijo: Ve, fortalécete, y considera y mira lo que has de hacer; porque pasado el año, el rey de Siria ha de venir contra ti.
23 Y los siervos del rey de Siria le dijeron: Sus dioses son dioses de los montes, por eso nos han vencido; mas si peleáremos con ellos en la llanura, se verá si no los vencemos.
24 Haz pues así: Saca á los reyes cada uno de su puesto, y pon capitanes en lugar de ellos.
25 Y tú, fórmate otro ejército como el ejército que perdiste, caballos por caballos, y carros por carros; luego pelearemos con ellos en campo raso, y veremos si no los vencemos. Y él les dió oído, é hízolo así.
26 Pasado el año, Ben-adad reconoció los Siros, y vino á Aphec á pelear contra Israel.
