SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:19
Y le hablarás, diciendo: Así dijo el SEÑOR: ¿No mataste y también has poseído? Y tornarás a hablarle, diciendo: Así dijo el SEÑOR: En el mismo lugar donde lamieron los perros la sangre de Nabot, los perros lamerán también tu sangre, la tuya misma.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 21:19
Verse 19. In the place where dogs licked, &c.] It is in vain to look for a literal fulfillment of this prediction. Thus it would have been fulfilled, but the humiliation of Ahab induced the merciful God to say, I will not bring the evil in his days, but in the days of his son, ver. 29. Now dogs did lick the blood of Ahab; but it was at the pool of Samaria, where his chariot and his armour were washed, after he had received his death wound at Ramoth-gilead; but some think this was the place where Naboth was stoned: see chap. xxii. 38. And how literally the prediction concerning his son was fulfilled, see 2 Kings ix. 25, where we find that the body of Jehoram his son, just then slain by an arrow that had passed through his heart, was thrown into the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; and there, doubtless, the dogs licked his blood, if they did not even devour his body. There is a similar idea of the propriety of punishment overtaking the culprit in the place where he had committed the crime, expressed by Orestes to AEgisthus, SOPH. Elect. 1495.- cwrei dÆ enqaper katektanev patera ton amon, wv en tautw qanhv.- Go where thou slew'st my father, That in the self-same place thou too may'st die.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 19. And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, thus saith the Lord, hast thou killed, and also taken possession ? etc.] Killed in order to possess, and now taken possession upon the murder; some versions, as the Vulgate Latin and Arabic, read without an interrogation, “thou hast killed and hath taken possession”, so Joseph Kimchi and Ben Melech; charging him with the murder of Naboth, and the unjust possession of his vineyard; the murder is ascribed to him, because his covetousness was the cause of it; and it was done by the contrivance of his wife; and it is highly probable Ahab knew more of it, and connived at it, and consented to it, than what is recorded, and however, by taking possession upon it, he abetted the fact: and thou shalt speak unto him, saying, in the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine ; which was fulfilled in his sons, who were his flesh and blood, ( 2 Kings 9:26), for the punishment was respited in his days, and transferred to his sons, (see Kings 21:29), though dogs did lick his blood, even his blood also, according to this prophecy, though not in the same place, (see 1 Kings 22:38), wherefore some take these words not to be expressive of the place where, but of the cause or reason for which this should be done, and read the words, “inasmuch”, or “because dogs have licked” f452 , etc.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-29 - Blessed Paul complains that he was sold under sin, Ro 7:14, as a poor captive against his will; but Ahab was willing, he sold himself to sin of choice, and as his own act and deed, he loved the dominion of sin Jezebel his wife stirred him up to do wickedly. Ahab is reproved, an his sin set before his eyes, by Elijah. That man's condition is very miserable, who has made the word of God his enemy; and very desperate who reckons the ministers of that word his enemies, because they tel him the truth. Ahab put on the garb and guise of a penitent, yet his heart was unhumbled and unchanged. Ahab's repentance was only what might be seen of men; it was outward only. Let this encourage all tha truly repent, and unfeignedly believe the holy gospel, that if pretending partial penitent shall go to his house reprieved, doubtless a sincere believing penitent shall go to his house justified __________________________________________________________________
