Bible Comments

They laid hands on her The Hebrew, ישׁמו לה ידים, Jashimu lah jadaim, may be properly rendered, Then they gave her room, or left her a free passage to depart out of the temple. Thus Houbigant, after the Chaldee. And she went by the way, &c. By the great public road, by which horses and chariots went to the palace. And there was she slain

In an ignominious place and manner, as her mother Jezebel had been.
