2 Kings 9:8

For. — And.

Shall perish. — Syriac, Arabic, Vulg., “I will cause to perish” (different Hebrew points). The LXX. has, “and at the hand of all the house of Ahab,” a difference of reading which favours the ordinary Hebrew text.

Him that is shut up and left (and him that is left). — Reuss imitates the alliteration of the original, “qu’il soit caché ou lâché en Israel.”

For the rest of the verse see 1 Kings 21:21, and comp. 1 Kings 14:10.
