1 Kings 21:9
_ _ Proclaim a fast, etc. — Those obsequious and unprincipled magistrates did according to orders. Pretending that a heavy guilt lay on one, or some unknown party, who was charged with blaspheming God and the king and that Ahab was threatening vengeance on the whole city unless the culprit were discovered and punished, they assembled the people to observe a solemn fast. Fasts were commanded on extraordinary occasions affecting the public interests of the state (2 Chronicles 20:3; Ezra 8:21; Joel 1:14; Joel 2:15; Jonah 3:5). The wicked authorities of Jezreel, by proclaiming the fast, wished to give an external appearance of justice to their proceedings and convey an impression among the people that Naboth’s crime amounted to treason against the king’s life.
_ _ set Naboth on high — During a trial the panel, or accused person, was placed on a high seat, in the presence of all the court; but as the guilty person was supposed to be unknown, the setting of Naboth on high among the people must have been owing to his being among the distinguished men of the place. |
1 Kings 21:9
A fast — To remove all suspicion of evil design in Ahab, and to beget a good opinion of him amongst his people, as if he were grown zealous for God's honour, and careful of his people's welfare, and therefore desirous to enquire into all those sins which provoked God against them. On high — On a scaffold, or high — place, where malefactors were usually placed, that they might be seen, and heard by all the people. |
1 Kings 21:9
And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a (d) fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
(d) For then they used to enquire of men's faults: for no one could truly fast if he was a notorious sinner. |
