1 Kings - 20:18 Meaning
“And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.”
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.”
