 | Reading the Text:
|
| Historical References, Commentary and
Comparative Texts:
 | Chapter VI, On
Modesty, Tertullian
(c. 217) |
| From the Geneva Notes.
 | "This example of monstrous
cruelty the Holy Spirit leaves to us, to the intent that we should
abhor all tyranny, and especially in those whom nature and kind
should move to be pitiful and inclined to mercy." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "It is a sin that is its own
parent; it arises not from the condition, but from the mind: as we
find Paul contented in a prison, so Ahab was discontented in a
palace." |
|
| From Wesley's Notes.
| "For God had expressly, and
for divers weighty reasons forbidden the alienation of lands from
the tribes and families to which they were allotted. And although
these might have been alienated 'till the jubilee, yet he durst not
sell it to the king for that time; because he supposed, if once it
came into the king's hand, neither he, nor his posterity, could ever
recover it; and so he should both offend God, and wrong his
posterity." |

and Ahab, Clinton and Nixon: Contemporary Lessons From Two Biblical
Stories," John R. Vile. Leadership U.
| "Although both Biblical
stories indicate that God's judgments on the unjust and their sins
are sure and His mercy to those who seek his pardon is abundant
beyond human understanding, there is no sure word from the Lord as
to what our role in extending such punishment or mercy may be in the
case of an elected president." |

preachers, the visionaries and the victims who tell us that life amounts
to more than what we acquire, more than whom we know, more than the places
we go and the food we eat." |
