Bible Comments

Oil olive. — The cultivated as distinct from the wild olive, or oleaster (1 Kings 6:23), which yields less and worse oil.

That ye may live. — Or, and ye shall live; a general promise of immunity, if they obey. (There should be, in this case, a stop at “honey.”)

When he persuadeth you. — Or, if he prick you on (1 Chronicles 21:1).

2 Kings 18:32

32 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadethm you, saying, The LORD will deliver us.
