Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

18:1-34 Jehoshaphat's alliance with Ahab. - This history we read in 1Ki 22. Abundant riches and honour give large opportunities of doing good, but they are attended with many snares and temptations. Men do not know much of the artifices of Satan and the deceitfulness of their own hearts, when they covet riches with the idea of being able to do good with them. What can hurt those whom God will protect? What can shelter those whom God will destroy? Jehoshaphat is safe in his robes, Ahab killed in his armour; for the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. We should be cautious of entangling ourselves in the worldly undertakings of evil men; and still more we should avoid engaging in their sinful projects. But, when they call upon him, God can and will bring his faithful people out of the difficulties and dangers into which they have sinfully run themselves. He has all hearts in his hand, so that he easily rescues them. Blessed is the man that putteth his trust in the Lord.


2 Chronicles 18:32 When the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
2 Chronicles 18:34 The battle raged that day, and the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot in front of the Arameans until the evening; and at sunset he died. (NASB ©1995)

a certain man 1Ki 22:34

at a venture [heb] in his simplicity 2Sa 15:11

between the, etc. [heb] between the joints and between the breast plate. The {shiryon} in Syriac, {sheryono}, seems to have covered both the back and breast of the warrior, and was consequently not properly a {breast-palate}, but a {coat of mail or corslet}. The corslet was made of flax of wool woven very thick, of ox-hide, of brass, or of iron. The metallic corslet consisted not of solid piece, but of scales, hooks, or rings, connected like the links of a chain, that the warrior might move with greater ease. It was between the joints of this {harness} that Ahab received his mortal wound. 1Ki 22:34,35

wounded [heb] made sick 2Ch 35:23
