maka Zedekia bin Kenaana membuat tanduk-tanduk besi, lalu berkata: "Beginilah firman TUHAN: Dengan ini engkau akan menanduk Aram sampai engkau menghabiskan mereka."
Maka Zedekia bin Kenaana sudah memperbuat akan dirinya tanduk besi, lalu sembahnya: Demikian inilah firman Tuhan: Bahwa dengan peri begini juga tuanku akan menanduk-nanduk orang Syam itu, sehingga tuanku membinasakan mereka itu sama sekali.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron,.... Horns are emblems of power and might, and iron ones of greater strength still; the prophets sometimes made use of visible signs, to represent the things they prophesied of should come to pass, see
Isaiah 20:2, and the same method this prophet took:
and he saith, thus saith the Lord; imitating the true prophets: with these shall thou push the Syrians until thou hast consumed them: Abarbinel thinks he had in view the blessing of Joseph by Moses, Deuteronomy 33:17 where he is compared to a bullock with horns; and these said to be the ten thousands of Ephraim, and the thousands of Manasseh; and Ahab being of the tribe of Joseph, and ruling in Ephraim and Manasseh, the prophet chose to make use of this emblem for his encouragement.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Horns of iron - The horn in Scripture is the favorite symbol of power; and pushing with the horn is a common metaphor for attacking and conquering enemies (see Deuteronomy 33:17; Compare Psalms 44:5; Daniel 8:4). Zedekiah, in employing a symbolic action, was following the example of a former Israelite prophet 1 Kings 11:30.
Thus saith the Lord - Or, יהוה yehovâh. Zedekiah lays aside the unmeaningful “Lord” אדני 'ǎdonāy of the general company of Israelite prophets 1 Kings 22:6, and professes to have a direct message from Yahweh to Ahab. He may have believed his own words, for the “lying spirit” 1 Kings 22:22 may have seemed to him a messenger from Yahweh. All the rest followed his example 1 Kings 22:12.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 22:11. Zedekiah - made him horns of iron — This was in imitation of that sort of prophecy which instructed by significative actions. This was frequent among the prophets of the Lord.
