Ver. 28. And there came a man of God.] Or, There had come a man of God and had spoken unto the king of Israel.
Therefore I will deliver.] Here the Lord wrought for his own great name, as he doth oft. See Ezekiel 20:8; Ezekiel 20:14; Ezekiel 20:22; Ezekiel 20:24. Our jealous God hateth to be robbed of his glory, even by ignorant pagans, whose tongues might seem no slander.
