Commentary on 1 Kings 20:30

Theological / Devotional

A wall fell. The city was probably small, with a large number of Syrians crowded within the walls. The general pandemonium that ensued could easily have resulted in the death of a large number of men.

Into an inner chamber. Literally, into a “chamber within a chamber.” Benhadad’s refuge was probably within the citadel of the city, and especially strong place usually found in walled Oriental cities that could be used as a place of last retreat.
