1 Kings 14:21 — Cuarenta y un años ] Está implícito en 2 Crónicas 12:8 ; 2 Crónicas 13:3 que Roboam era joven cuando subió al trono; y un manuscrito de la LXX sustituye aquí "dieciséis años". El nombre de su madre ] el nombre de la madre de cada rey sucesor (ver 1 Reyes 15:10 ; 1 Reyes 22:42 ; 2 Reyes 8:25 , etc.) se menciona expresamente debido al puesto que ocupaba la reina viuda: ver 1 Reyes 2:19 .

Ezra 2:1-70 — The Names and Number of those who returned 1. The province] i.e. the Persian province of Judæa (Ezra 5:8). Had carried away] in 597 b.c. and 586 b.c. Every one unto his city] i.e. to the provincial towns. This process can only have taken place very gradually. 2. Zerubbabel] for his relation

Psalms 80:1-19 — This Ps. is an appeal to God to save His people from the adversities that have come upon them, and have made them the laughing stock of their enemies (Psalms 80:1-7). Their past history is recalled under the figure of a vine, once flourishing, but now wasted by wild beasts and fire (Psalms 80:8-16). Special prominence is given to the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin (Psalms 80:2). The Ps. was probably

Amos 2:1-5 — Los pecados de los vecinos de Israel y los castigos que deberían seguir 1. Podemos parafrasear la parte principal de la oración así: "Las palabras de Amós, que describen lo que vio en visión profética". Pastores ] o más bien, 'cuidadores de una raza peculiar de ovejas llamada naqad '. Debe haber habido varios de estos pastores

Habakkuk 1:1-17 — The Prophet’s burden. The Answer of Jehovah 1. Burden] RM ’oracle’: see on Isaiah 13:1. 2, 3. How long?.. Why?] Even a prophet (Habakkuk 1:1) can ask such questions. He never denies the existence of God, but he cannot understand His seeming failure to interpose in human affairs. In

Romans 8:34 — Intercesión ] cp. Hebreos 7:25 ; 1 Timoteo 2:1 .

1 Corinthians 11:1 — parece haber sugerido que, como un ídolo no representaba a una deidad real, la comida no podía contaminarse al ofrecérsela y, por lo tanto, podía comerse legalmente. San Pablo, sin embargo, admitiendo la verdad de su visión de los ídolos, les dice que (1) el conocimiento debe ser templado por el amor, teniendo cuidado de no dañar la conciencia de otro; y (2) deben tener cuidado con la idolatría. En 1 Corintios 8 se ocupa del principio general, dando la precaución (1) anterior. En 1 Corintios 9 apela

1 Corinthians 15:9 — El menor de los apóstoles ] cp. 1 Timoteo 1:12 .

1 Corinthians 16:3 — Por sus cartas ] de encomio a los cristianos de Jerusalén: cp. 2 Corintios 3:1 ; Los delegados irían de Corinto para evitar toda sospecha de malversación del dinero (2 2 Corintios 8:19 ).

1 Corinthians 2:13 — Hablamos ] Nuestro lenguaje, al igual que nuestras verdades, son el resultado de la percepción espiritual con la que Dios ha iluminado nuestras mentes. Comparando cosas espirituales con espirituales ] La frase debe traducirse, (1) 'interpretar las verdades espirituales en lenguaje espiritual,' o, (2) como en RM, 'interpretar las cosas espirituales a los hombres espirituales'. El primero lo conecta con el contexto de este v., El segundo con 1 Corintios 2:14 . Con el primero

1 Corinthians 8:1 — advice. Their letter seems to have suggested that as an idol did not represent a real deity, food could not be polluted by being offered to it, and so might lawfully be eaten. St. Paul, however, admitting the truth of their view of idols, tells them that (1) knowledge must be tempered by love, care being taken to avoid injuring another’s conscience; and (2) they must beware of idolatry. In 1 Corinthians 8 he deals with the general principle, giving caution (1) above. In 1 Corinthians 9 he appeals

1 Timothy 4:1-16 — Various Directions and Exhortations 1-10. A return to, and emphatic reiteration of, the first charge to Timothy (1 Timothy 1:3-20) against heterodoxy and in favour of true godliness. This form of heterodoxy which he would have to oppose was an asceticism which taught that there was merit

Hebrews 3:1-19 — Jesus Christ, Lord of the Household of Gods (b) Christ is superior also to Moses; for He is Son over the house of God, whereas Moses was only a servant in it. 1. Wherefore] A new section begins here, in which argument and exhortation are blended. The connexion with the preceding is not quite plain. It may lie in the fact that Christ has been described (Hebrews 2:10) as a Leader of salvation, conducting God’s

1 John 3:1-24 — The Righteousness of God and the Duties and Privileges of Sonship 1. The sons of God] RV ’children of God,’ adding the words, ’and such we are.’ The word translated ’children’ here is characteristic of St. John, and implies community of nature, whereas the term ’sons’

1 Samuel 17:1-58 — David slays Goliath 1 Samuel 17:1 to 1 Samuel 18:5 is evidently taken from a different document from 1 Samuel 16:14-23. In 1 Samuel 16:14-23; David is a man of war, and skilful in speech, and an expert harper, and has already become Saul’s musician and armourbearer.

1 Samuel 6:71 — Esta v. Es la conclusión de la narración y realmente debería formar parte de 1 Samuel 6 . Deberíamos haber esperado que el arca fuera llevada de regreso a Shiloh; quizás Silo había caído en manos de los filisteos, que ahora invadieron Israel ( 1 Samuel 14:6 ; 1 Samuel 14:19 ). En cualquier caso, ya no oímos hablar de Shiloh como un lugar de reunión nacional; por el momento, cualquier unidad nacional que exista se centra en Samuel.

2 Samuel 3:1-39 — Abner is Treacherously Murdered by Joab 3. Chileab] We read nothing more of him and he probably died as a child. In 1 Chronicles 3:1 he is called Daniel. Geshur] a kingdom on the border of Bashan, where Absalom afterwards took refuge (2 Samuel 13:37) It must not be confused with the Geshur of 1 Samuel 27:8. 4. Adonijah] see 1 Kings 1. 7. Rizpah] see 2 Samuel 21:8-11.

2 Samuel 7:1-29 — Temple This chapter affords an excellent illustration of the way in which prophecy has often two quite distinct applications, one to the more immediate and the other to the more distant future. The primary reference is to Solomon (see especially 2 Samuel 7:12-14), but the prophecy looks beyond him to a greater Son, of whom he was only an emblem and type. We get a somewhat similar instance in Isaiah 7:14-17 (see especially 2 Samuel 7:16). Chronologically this chapter should follow 2 Samuel 8. 2. Nathan]
