And he said, I saw Namely, in the Spirit, or in a vision; all Israel scattered upon the hills Upon the mountains of Gilead, where they lay encamped by Ahab's order, or to which they fled from the enemy. As sheep that have no shepherd As people that have lost their king. The Lord said, These have no master; let them return, &c. Discharged from the war. This was fulfilled, 1 Kings 22:36.
