1 Kings 9:21 — See 1 Kings 5:15 note.

1 Kings 9:21 — Ver 1 Reyes 5:15 nota.

1 Chronicles 5:10 — The “Hagarites” or “Hagarenes” are generally regarded as descendants of Hagar, and a distinct branch of the Ishmaelites 1 Chronicles 27:30-31; Psalms 83:6. They appear to have been one of the most wealthy 1 Chronicles 5:21 and widely-spread tribes of the Syrian Desert, being found on the side of the Euphrates in contact with the Assyrians, and also in the Hauran, in the neighborhood of Palestine, in contact with the Moabites and Israelites. If identical with the Agraei

Psalms 109:18 — Mientras se vestía con maldiciones como si fuera una prenda - Las cualidades morales a menudo se comparan con la vestimenta, como aquello en lo que "nos aparecemos" a nuestros semejantes. Ver 1 Pedro 5:5; Job 29:14. Entonces, que entre en sus intestinos como el agua - Margen, "dentro de él". En hebreo, "en medio de él". Deja que lo penetre de principio a fin. Que ninguna parte de él no se vea afectada por ello. Y como el aceite en sus huesos -

Psalms 71:14 — sea cual sea el número, el poder y la confianza de mis enemigos. Ninguna de estas cosas me hará desesperar, mientras tenga un Dios, tengo todo terreno para la esperanza. Ningún hombre debe desesperar quien tiene a Dios por su amigo. Compare Salmo 42:5, Salmo 42:11; Salmo 43:5. Y aún te alabaré más y más - literalmente, "agregaré todas tus alabanzas". Es decir, lo acumularé; Lo aumentaré. Vio abundante causa en el pasado para alabar a Dios; tenía tanta confianza en él y sentía tanta seguridad de

Psalms 89:3 — duda el lenguaje de Dios mismo, aunque no se le atribuye expresamente. El diseño es para describir la promesa solemne que Dios había hecho a David y a su posteridad. Compare Salmo 78:70. Vea también, sobre el uso de la frase "hizo un pacto", vea Salmo 50:5, nota; Salmo 83:5, nota. He jurado a David mi siervo - He hecho un juramento solemne con respecto a él. La sustancia del juramento se establece en el siguiente verso. La promesa mencionada se encuentra en 2 Samuel 7:11.

Leviticus 3:8 — See Leviticus 1:4-5 notes.

Isaiah 64:1 — God is often represented as coming down from heaven in a sublime manner amidst tempests, fire, and storms, to take vengeance on his foes. Thus Psalms 18:9 : He bowed the heavens also and came down; And darkness was under his feet.Compare Habakkuk 3:5-6. It should be remembered that the main idea in the passage before us is that of Yahweh coming down to destroy his foes. His people entreat him to descend with the proofs of his indignation, so that every obstacle shall be destroyed before him, Thus

Daniel 5:24 — Then was the part of the hand sent from him - To wit, the fingers. See Daniel 5:5. The sense is, that when it was fully perceived that Belshazzar was not disposed to learn that there was a God in heaven; when he refused to profit by the solemn dispensations which had occurred in respect to his predecessor; when his own heart was

Daniel 5:24 — Entonces se envió la parte de la mano de él - A saber, los dedos. Ver Daniel 5:5. El sentido es que cuando se percibió completamente que Belsasar no estaba dispuesto a aprender que había un Dios en el cielo; cuando se negó a sacar provecho de las dispensaciones solemnes que habían ocurrido con respecto a su predecesor; cuando

John 18:12 — Ver Mateo 26:5.

John 8:29 — with me - In working miracles, etc.Hath not left me alone - Though men had forsaken and rejected him, yet God attended him.Those things that please him - See Matthew 3:17; “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased,” Philippians 2:8; Isaiah 53:10-12; 2 Peter 1:17; Luke 3:22; Matthew 17:5. His undertaking the work of redemption was pleasing to God, and he had the consciousness that in executing it he did those things which God approved. It is a small matter to have men opposed to us, if we

Acts 21:31 — and strengthened by Herod the Great, and was called Antonia in honor of his friend, Mark Antony. Josephus describes this castle as consisting of four towers, one of which overlooked the temple, and which he says was 70 cubits high (Jewish Wars, book 5, chapter 5, section 8). In this castle a guard of Roman soldiers was stationed to secure the temple and to maintain the peace. The commander of this cohort is here called “the chief captain.” Reference is made to this guard several times in the New

Acts 3:15 — the “Captain of their salvation” perfect through sufferings.” As a captain or commander leads on to victory and is said to obtain it, so the word comes to denote one who is the “cause,” the “author,” the “procurer,” etc. In this sense it is used, Acts 5:31, “Him hath God exalted to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel,” etc. In Hebrews 12:2 it is properly rendered author, “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.” The word “author,” or “giver,” would express

Galatians 6:15 — For in Christ Jesus - In his religion; see the note at Galatians 5:6.But a new creature - The fact that a man is created anew, or born again, constitutes the real difference between him and other people. This is what Christ requires; this is the distinction which he designs to make. It is not by conformity to certain

Galatians 6:15 — Porque en Cristo Jesús - En su religión; vea la nota en Gálatas 5:6. Pero una nueva criatura - El hecho de que un hombre se cree de nuevo, o nazca de nuevo, constituye la verdadera diferencia entre él y otras personas. Esto es lo que Cristo requiere; esta es la distinción que él diseña hacer. No es por conformidad

1 Timothy 5:3 — viudas - La atención y el respeto particulares que se exponen aquí, parecen referirse a la clase de viudas que fueron apoyadas por la iglesia y a quienes se les confió el desempeño de ciertos deberes hacia los otros miembros femeninos, ver 1 Timoteo 5:9. Debe recordarse que el contacto de los sexos estaba mucho más circunscrito en los países orientales que entre nosotros; que el acceso a las mujeres miembros de la iglesia sería mucho menos libre de lo que es ahora, y que, en consecuencia, podría

Hebrews 5:10 — does not mean that he was “appointed” by God, or “called” to the office, in the sense in which we often use the word, but simply that he was “addressed” as such, to wit, in Psalms 110:1-7;An high priest - In the Septuagint Psalms 110:4, and in Hebrews 5:6, above, it is rendered “priest” - ἱερεύς hiereus - but the Hebrew word - כהן kohēn - is often used to denote the high priest, and may mean either; see Septuagint in Leviticus 4:3. Whether the word “priest,” or “high priest,” be used here, does

2 Samuel 9:4 — David reaped the fruit of his kindness to Mephibosheth, for, when he fled from Absalom, Machir, the son of Ammiel, was one of those who were most liberal in providing him and his army with necessaries (marginal reference). According to 1 Chronicles 3:5, Ammiel (called inversely Eliam, 2 Samuel 11:3) was the father of Bath-sheba. If this be the same Ammiel, Machir would be Bath-sheba’s brother. However, the name is not a very uncommon one (Num 13:12; 1 Chronicles 26:5, etc.).Lo-debar - Evidently on

2 Samuel 9:4 — David cosechó el fruto de su amabilidad con Mefiboset, porque cuando huyó de Absalón, Machir, el hijo de Amiel, fue uno de los más liberales al proporcionarle a él y a su ejército los artículos necesarios (referencia marginal). Según 1 Crónicas 3:5, Ammiel (llamado inversamente Eliam, 2 Samuel 11:3) era el padre de Bath-sheba. Si este fuera el mismo Ammiel, Machir sería el hermano de Bath-sheba. Sin embargo, el nombre no es muy poco frecuente ( Num 13:12 ; 1 Crónicas 26:5, etc.). Lo-debar -
