Verse 34
1Ki 22:34 And a [certain] man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
Ver. 34. Drew a bow at a venture. ] Heb., In his simplicity, or with all his might; as did also that cursed cuirassier heavily armed cavalry soldier , that killed the late gallant king of Sweden, whom yet he knew but too well, saying when he shot him, This is the right bird.
For I am wounded. ] Heb., Made sick. And now what joy could Ahab’s black soul, ready to depart, have of his ivory house? Who had not rather be a Micaiah in the jail than Ahab in the chariot? Wicked men have the advantage of the way, godly men of the end.
