Verse 18
and he leaneth: This verse should probably, as many learned men have supposed, be read in the past, and not in the future tense: "In this thing the Lord pardon thy servant, that when my master went into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaned on my hand, and I worshipped in the house of Rimmon; in that I have worshipped in the house of Rimmon, the Lord pardon thy servant in this thing." Rimmon is supposed by Selden to the same with Elion, a god of the Phoenicians, borrowed undoubtedly from the Elyon of the Hebrews, one of the names of God. 2 Kings 7:2, 2 Kings 7:17
and I bow: 2 Kings 17:35, Exodus 20:5, 1 Kings 19:18
the Lord pardon: 2 Chronicles 30:18, 2 Chronicles 30:19, Jeremiah 50:20
Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 6:77 - Rimmon
