Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| The first instance of the "acted parable." Generally this mode was adopted upon express divine command (see Jer 13:1-11; Eze 3:1-3). A connection may be traced between the type selected and the words of the announcement to Solomon (Kg1 11:11-13. Compare Sa1 15:26-28). |
26 And Samuel [08050] said [0559] unto Saul [07586], I will not return [07725] with thee: for thou hast rejected [03988] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], and the LORD [03068] hath rejected [03988] thee from being king [04428] over Israel [03478].
27 And as Samuel [08050] turned about [05437] to go away [03212], he laid hold [02388] upon the skirt [03671] of his mantle [04598], and it rent [07167].
28 And Samuel [08050] said [0559] unto him, The LORD [03068] hath rent [07167] the kingdom [04468] of Israel [03478] from thee this day [03117], and hath given [05414] it to a neighbour [07453] of thine, that is better [02896] than thou.
11 Wherefore the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Solomon [08010], Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept [08104] my covenant [01285] and my statutes [02708], which I have commanded [06680] thee, I will surely [07167] rend [07167] the kingdom [04467] from thee, and will give [05414] it to thy servant [05650].
12 Notwithstanding in thy days [03117] I will not do [06213] it for David [01732] thy father's [01] sake: but I will rend [07167] it out of the hand [03027] of thy son [01121].
13 Howbeit [07535] I will not rend away [07167] all the kingdom [04467]; but will give [05414] one [0259] tribe [07626] to thy son [01121] for David [01732] my servant's [05650] sake, and for Jerusalem's [03389] sake which I have chosen [0977].
1 Moreover he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], eat [0398] that thou findest [04672]; eat [0398] this roll [04039], and go [03212] speak [01696] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478].
2 So I opened [06605] my mouth [06310], and he caused me to eat [0398] that roll [04039].
3 And he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], cause thy belly [0990] to eat [0398], and fill [04390] thy bowels [04578] with this roll [04039] that I give [05414] thee. Then did I eat [0398] it; and it was in my mouth [06310] as honey [01706] for sweetness [04966].
1 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] unto me, Go [01980] and get [07069] thee a linen [06593] girdle [0232], and put [07760] it upon thy loins [04975], and put [0935] it not in water [04325].
2 So I got [07069] a girdle [0232] according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], and put [07760] it on my loins [04975].
3 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me the second time [08145], saying [0559],
4 Take [03947] the girdle [0232] that thou hast got [07069], which is upon thy loins [04975], and arise [06965], go [03212] to Euphrates [06578], and hide [02934] it there in a hole [05357] of the rock [05553].
5 So I went [03212], and hid [02934] it by Euphrates [06578], as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] me.
6 And it came to pass after [07093] many [07227] days [03117], that the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Arise [06965], go [03212] to Euphrates [06578], and take [03947] the girdle [0232] from thence, which I commanded [06680] thee to hide [02934] there.
7 Then I went [03212] to Euphrates [06578], and digged [02658], and took [03947] the girdle [0232] from the place [04725] where I had hid [02934] it: and, behold, the girdle [0232] was marred [07843], it was profitable [06743] for nothing.
8 Then the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559],
9 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], After this manner will I mar [07843] the pride [01347] of Judah [03063], and the great [07227] pride [01347] of Jerusalem [03389].
10 This evil [07451] people [05971], which refuse [03987] to hear [08085] my words [01697], which walk [01980] in the imagination [08307] of their heart [03820], and walk [03212] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430], to serve [05647] them, and to worship [07812] them, shall even be as this girdle [0232], which is good [06743] for nothing.
11 For as the girdle [0232] cleaveth [01692] to the loins [04975] of a man [0376], so have I caused to cleave [01692] unto me the whole house [01004] of Israel [03478] and the whole house [01004] of Judah [03063], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; that they might be unto me for a people [05971], and for a name [08034], and for a praise [08416], and for a glory [08597]: but they would not hear [08085].
