Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 16:17

17. Besieged Tirzah They raised the siege of Gibbethon and attacked the seditious Israelites, deeming it better to punish treason and assassination at home than to continue the tedious war with the Philistines. read more

18. Palace of the king’s house Rather, as Gesenius explains it, “Fortress of the king’s house; the innermost part, as the highest and strongest the citadel. J.D. Michaelis, and after him most modern interpreters, here translate it the women’s apartment; but there is no trace of this in the ancient interpreters, nor is there any reason for departing from the simple explanation given above.” Burnt the king’s house over him with fire As Saracus, or Sardanapalus, is said to have done,... read more

21. Tibni the son of Ginath He was probably set up by the people of Tirzah, which was besieged by Omri. There was a class of people that did not wish a king set up and maintained by a military despotism. According to the Septuagint, Tibni was assisted by his brother Joram, and both died at that time. read more

INTERREGNUM OF FOUR YEARS, 1 Kings 16:21-22. In these two verses we have the spectacle of the northern kingdom existing for some four years in a state of civil war, with two contending chieftains struggling to gain the vacant throne. Bitterly do the seceding tribes reap the fruits of evil sowing; for not only are they given over to idolatry, but from this record appear half swallowed up in anarchy. read more

22. So Tibni died The record is so brief as to leave it doubtful whether he died naturally or by violence. read more

OMRI’S REIGN, 1 Kings 16:23-28. 23. Twelve years Six at Tirzah and six at Samaria. With Omri began the third dynasty in the history of the kingdom of Israel; and from hints given in other parts of Scripture, and from the recently discovered inscription of Mesha, king of Moab, we infer that his reign was filled with many important events which our narrator passes over in utter silence. From 1 Kings 20:34, we infer that he had wars with Ben-hadad of Damascus, in which he lost some cities of... read more

24. Samaria “As Constantine’s sagacity is fixed by his choice of Constantinople, so is that of Omri by his choice of Samaria. It was the only great city of Palestine created by the sovereigns. All the others had been already consecrated by patriarchal tradition or previous possession. But Samaria was the choice of Omri alone, and in Assyrian inscriptions it bears the name of Beth-Khumri the house, or palace, of Omri. Six miles from Shechem, in the same well-watered valley, here opening... read more

25. Did worse than all that were before him Worse than Jeroboam, Nadab, Baasha, and Elah. “He went further than they had done,” says Henry, “in establishing iniquity by law, and forcing his subjects to comply with him in it; for we read, Micah 6:16, of the ‘statutes of Omri,’ the keeping of which made Israel a desolation.” “We cannot doubt,” remarks Kitto, “that these statutes of Omri were measures adopted for more completely isolating the people of Israel from the services of the house of... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 16:29-34

THE BEGINNING OF AHAB’S REIGN, 1 Kings 16:29-34. Critics have not failed to notice that with the beginning of Ahab’s reign commences a new epoch in the history of Israel: new, not so much in the more flagrant forms of wickedness that manifest themselves, as in the relative importance of the kingdom of Israel during the reigns of Ahab, Ahaziah, and Jehoram. With the exception of Jeroboam the reigns of Ahab’s predecessors are very briefly noticed, occupying but parts of two chapters; but the... read more
