cut him in sunder--a punishment not unknown in the East; compare Heb 11:37, "sawn asunder" (Sa1 15:33; Dan 2:5).
the unbelievers--the unfaithful, those unworthy of trust (Mat 24:51), "the hypocrites," falsely calling themselves "servants." |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Unbelievers (ἀπίστων)
Much better as Rev., the unfaithful; for it is of fidelity, not of faith, that Christ is speaking. Wyc., unfaithful men. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| The Lord will appoint him his portion - His everlasting portion, with the unfaithful - As faithful as he was once, God himself being the Judge! |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| With the unbelievers - Or, rather, the unfaithful; των σπιϚων. Persons who had the light and knowledge of God's word, but made an improper use of the privileges they received. The persons mentioned here differ widely from unbelievers or infidels, viz. those who were in a state of heathenism, because they had not the revelation of the Most High: the latter knew not the will of God, Luk 12:48, and, though they acted against it, did not do it in obstinacy; the former knew that will, and daringly opposed it. They were unfaithful, and therefore heavily punished. |

5 The king [04430] answered [06032] and said [0560] to the Chaldeans [03779], The thing [04406] is gone [0230] from me [04481]: if [02006] ye will not [03809] make known [03046] unto me the dream [02493], with the interpretation [06591] thereof, ye shall be cut [05648] in pieces [01917], and your houses [01005] shall be made [07761] a dunghill [05122].
33 And Samuel [08050] said [0559], As thy sword [02719] hath made women [0802] childless [07921], so shall thy mother [0517] be childless [07921] among women [0802]. And Samuel [08050] hewed [08158] Agag [090] in pieces [08158] before [06440] the LORD [03068] in Gilgal [01537].

For [1161] unto whomsoever [3739] [3956] much [4183] is given [1325], of [3844] him [846] shall be much [4183] required [2212]: and [2532] to whom men [3739] have committed [3908] much [4183], of him [846] they will ask [154] the more [4055].
