Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

he rent his clothes: 2 Kings 5:7, 2 Kings 19:1, 1 Kings 21:27, Isaiah 58:5-7

Reciprocal: Ecclesiastes 3:7 - time to rend Isaiah 15:3 - their streets Jeremiah 48:37 - upon the loins Joel 2:13 - your garments

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes,.... At the horror of the fact reported, and through grief that his people were brought into such distress through famine:

and he passed by upon the wall; returning to his palace:

and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth upon his flesh; which, in token of humiliation for averting the calamities he was under, he had put there before, and now was seen through the rending of his clothes.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Sackcloth - Jehoram hoped perhaps to avert Yahweh’s anger, as his father had done 1 Kings 21:29. But there was no spirit of self-humiliation, or of true pentitence in his heart 2 Kings 5:7. See the next verse.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 30. He had sackcloth within upon his flesh. — The king was in deep mourning for the distresses of the people.
