Commentary on 1 Kings 21:12

Theological / Devotional

As it was written. The ready acquiescence of the rulers of the city in carrying out this foul plot is characteristic of the worst to be found in Oriental despotism. The word of the king was law. Even base murder would be carried out under the pretense of justice. This ready submission of the elders and nobles implied a deep moral degradation among the people.
