1 Kings 21:23,24 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall Or, by the ditch, or fort; or, in the portion, of Jezreel, as the Hebrew word בחל, becheel, often signifies, and as it is explained 2 Kings 9:36, a passage which attests the exact accomplishment of this prediction. Him that dieth of Ahab in the city, &c. Punishments after death are here most insisted on; and these, though lighting on the body only, yet undoubtedly were designed as figures of the soul's misery in an after state.

1 Kings 21:23-24

23 And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wallb of Jezreel.

24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
