SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:7
Entonces el rey de Israel llamó a todos los ancianos de la tierra, y les dijo: Entended, y ved ahora cómo éste no busca sino mal; pues que ha enviado a mí por mis mujeres y mis hijos, y por mi plata y por mi oro; y yo no se lo he negado.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - Benhadad sent Ahab a very insolent demand. Ahab sent a very disgracefu submission; sin brings men into such straits, by putting them out of the Divine protection. If God do not rule us, our enemies shall: guil dispirits men, and makes them cowards. Ahab became desperate. Men wil part with their most pleasant things, those they most love, to sav their lives; yet they lose their souls rather than part with an pleasure or interest to prevent it. Here is one of the wisest saying that ever Ahab spake, and it is a good lesson to all. It is folly to boast of any day to come, since we know not what it may bring forth Apply it to our spiritual conflicts. Peter fell by self-confidence Happy is the man who is never off his watch.
