2 Kings 21:13
_ _ the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab — Captives doomed to destruction were sometimes grouped together and marked off by means of a measuring-line and plummet (2 Samuel 8:2; Isaiah 34:11; Amos 7:7); so that the line of Samaria means the line drawn for the destruction of Samaria; the plummet of the house of Ahab, for exterminating his apostate family; and the import of the threatening declaration here is that Judah would be utterly destroyed, as Samaria and the dynasty of Ahab had been.
_ _ I will wipe Jerusalem, etc. — The same doom is denounced more strongly in a figure unmistakably significant. |
2 Kings 21:13
The line — She shall have the same measure, the same judgments which Samaria had. The line is often put for one's lot or portion, because mens portions or possessions used to be measured by lines. A dish — As men do with a dish that hath been used, first wholly empty it of all that is in it, then throughly cleanse and wipe it; and lastly, turn it upside down, that nothing may remain in it; so will I deal with Jerusalem, throughly empty and purge it from all its wicked inhabitants. Yet the comparison intimates, that this should be in order to the purifying, not the final destruction of Jerusalem. The dish shall not be broken in pieces, or wholly cast away, but only wiped. |
2 Kings 21:13
And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line (d) of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as [a man] wipeth a dish, wiping [it], and turning [it] upside down.
(d) As I have destroyed Samaria and the house of Ahab so will I destroy Judah. |
