rent it: 1 Samuel 15:27, 1 Samuel 15:28, 1 Samuel 24:4, 1 Samuel 24:5
Reciprocal: Exodus 24:4 - according 1 Kings 14:8 - rent Jeremiah 27:2 - put Ezekiel 4:1 - take
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him,.... This looks as if it was Jeroboam's garment, having got a new one to appear before the king in; though the sense may be this, that the prophet took hold of his own garment that was upon himself:
and rent it in twelve pieces; as symbolical of the twelve tribes of Israel.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The first instance of the “acted parable.” Generally this mode was adopted upon express divine command (see Jeremiah 13:1-11; Ezekiel 3:1-3). A connection may be traced between the type selected and the words of the announcement to Solomon (1 Kings 11:11-13. Compare 1 Samuel 15:26-28).
