Commentary on 1 Kings 20:16

Theological / Devotional

At noon. The sally was made at noon, when at the heat of the day the attackers were probably resting unarmed, with no expectation of being attacked.

Drinking himself drunk. Benhadad at this time was probably well under the influence of liquor, unable to evaluate the situation or to make wise decisions.
