Thou sayest. — Slightly altered from 2 Kings 14:10. Thou sayest, or thou thinkest, is added here. The word in Hebrew meaning Lo (hinnçh) is perhaps a corruption of the word meaning smiting (hakkçh) :“Thou hast indeed smitten.”
To boast. — To get glory (hakbîd). Only so used here. Kings, “thine heart lifteth thee up. Be honoured (i.e., enjoy thine honours), and abide at home” (hikkâ-bçd). The difference is one of points only, and may be due to a copyist.
