1 Kings - 20:14 Meaning
“And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
20:12-21 The proud Syrians were beaten, and the despised Israelites were conquerors. The orders of the proud, drunken king disordered his troops, and prevented them from attacking the Israelites. Those that are most secure, are commonly least courageous. Ahab slew the Syrians with a great slaughter. God often makes one wicked man a scourge to another.
“He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.”
