1 Kings 20:18

1Ki 20:18 And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.

Ver. 18. Take them alive. ] He bore himself so bold upon his great strength, that he thought there was no more to do but to take them alive. He considered not that they were Deo armati; and that himself was held fast "in the snare of the devil, being taken alive by him at his will," 2Ti 2:26 as a beast is taken in a toil. a
