Commentary on 1 Kings 20:6

Theological / Devotional

Search thine house. Such a demand was only adding insult to injury. Ahab had already been reduced to the humiliation of acknowledging that his silver and gold, and even his family, were the property of the Syrian king, but the present demand called for an immediate search of the palace and homes of Samaria, with the surrender of anything belonging to any of the people that might appeal to the plunderers. That meant unqualified and abject surrender.
