1 Kings 20:43 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.

Ver. 43. Heavy and displeased.] Not with a "sorrow according to God," but such as arose from a slavish fear: this heavy message in the midst of his triumph, being worse than the whip and bell hung up usually in the chariot of the Roman triumpher, to show him what he might one day come to, viz., to be whipped as a slave, yea, to lose his head as an offender.
