Job 1:15
_ _ Sabeans — not those of Arabia-Felix, but those of Arabia-Deserta, descending from Sheba, grandson of Abraham and Keturah (Genesis 25:3). The Bedouin Arabs of the present day resemble, in marauding habits, these Sabeans (compare Genesis 16:12).
_ _ I alone am escaped — cunningly contrived by Satan. One in each case escapes (Job 1:16, Job 1:17, Job 1:19), and brings the same kind of message. This was to overwhelm Job, and leave him no time to recover from the rapid succession of calamities — “misfortunes seldom come single.” |
Job 1:15
Sabeans — A people of Arabia, who led a wandering life, and lived by robbery and spoil. I — Whom Satan spared, that Job might have speedy and certain intelligence of his calamity. |
Job 1:15
And the (x) Sabeans fell [upon them], and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
