열왕기상 21:2 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Kings 21:1-4

Here is, 1. Ahab coveting his neighbour's vineyard, which unhappily lay near his palace and conveniently for a kitchen-garden. Perhaps Naboth had been pleased that he had a vineyard which lay so advantageously for a prospect of the royal gardens, or the vending of its productions to the royal family; but the situation of it proved fatal to him. If he had had no vineyard, or it had lain obscure in some remote place, he would have preserved his life. But many a man's possessions have been his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 21:2

And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs ,.... For a kitchen garden to produce eatables of the vegetable kind for his household, or for a flower garden; and perhaps for both, as Kimchi observes, it being customary to have such in court yards, or behind the house; perhaps he might take his notion of an herb garden from his neighbours the Syrians, who were very diligent and laborious in cultivating their gardens, as Pliny F26 Nat... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 21:2

Give me thy vineyard - The request of Ahab seems at first view fair and honorable. Naboth's vineyard was nigh to the palace of Ahab, and he wished to add it to his own for a kitchen garden, or perhaps a grass-plat, ירק גן gan yarak ; and he offers to give him either a better vineyard for it, or to give him its worth in money. Naboth rejects the proposal with horror: The Lord forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to thee. No man could finally alienate any... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 21:1-4

Covetousness. Amongst the arguments used by Samuel to discourage the people of Israel from desiring a king, he said, "He will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive yards, even the best of them." We have in the verses before us a notable example of the truth of this forecast, understanding covetousness in a bad sense. I. DESIRE , IN THE ABSTRACT , IS NOT COVETOUSNESS . 1 . It is the principle of exchanges . 2 . But commerce is fruitful in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 21:1-4

First Steps in the Path of Crime. I. UNBRIDLED DESIRE . 1 . The spirit in which Ahab came . He came down to Jezreel not to present a thank offering to God for recent deliverance, nor to inquire what might be done to meet the wishes or improve the condition of the people. Had he come thus, paths of usefulness would have opened up before him, and, instead of the dark memory of guilt, he would have left behind him blessing and praise. God and man were alike shut out, and self was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 21:1-15

The Martyrdom of Naboth. History tells of few crimes of its kind more flagitious, more cruel and cold-blooded than this. Here we see that spectacle which one of the ancients said was dear to the gods—a just man suffering shameful wrongs with dignity and patience: we see a man because of his fidelity to God and His law judicially done to death by the representative of God, by the authority appointed to execute the Law. And just as the crime has few parallels, so has the history few equals... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 21:1-24

The Progress of Sin. This chapter describes one of the blackest crimes which ever blotted the page of history. The description is so graphic that we seem eyewitnesses of the tragedy, and so suggestive that we can understand the motives and feelings of the principal actors. Naboth has been blamed sometimes for refusing what appeared a reasonable request that he would sell a piece of land to his rightful king at a fair price. It is evident, however, that he was not only acting within his... read more

And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard [The prediction of Samuel ( 1 Samuel 8:14 ) is being realized], that I may have it for a garden of herbs [as in Deuteronomy 11:10 ; Romans 15:17 ], because it is near unto [Heb. beside ] my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it: or [Heb. omits or ] , if it seem good to thee [Heb. if good in thine eyes ] , I will give thee the worth of it in money. [Heb. I will give to thee silver... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 21:2

I will give thee the worth of it in money - literally, “I will give thee silver, the worth of it.” Money, in our sense of the word, that is to say, coins of definite values, did not yet exist. The first coin known to the Jews was the Persian daric, with which they became acquainted during the captivity. (1 Chronicles 29:7 note). read more

1 Kings 21:1-3. Which was in Jezreel Where one of Ahab’s palaces was, as the other was in Samaria. That I may have it for a garden of herbs For a flower-garden, as some understand it. Ahab made a fair proposal for it, but the law was against Naboth’s alienating his vineyard from his family and tribe. The Lord forbid it me, &c. For God had expressly, and for divers weighty reasons, forbidden the alienation of lands from the tribes and families to which they were allotted. And... read more
