1 Kings 16:1-34
The Reigns of Elah, Zimri, and Omri
1. Jehu the son of Hanani] Hanani is mentioned in 2 Chronicles 16:7-10. Jehu’s denunciation of Baasha is similar to Ahijah’s denunciation of Jeroboam (1 Kings 14:7-11).
9. As he was.. drunk] Elah’s incapacity and dissoluteness doubtless
2 Chronicles 13:1-22
Reign of Abijah

2. Michaiah] In 2 Chronicles 11:21 and 1 Kings 15:2 she is called ’Maachah,’ and was probably daughter of Uriel and granddaughter of Absalom.

Esther 3:1-15 El plan vengativo de Amán contra los judíos

Psalms 10:1-18 discussed in intro. to that Ps. It reflects a time of great social disorder, in which wickedness and violence are rampant, and the righteous are sorely oppressed. It falls roughly into two parts. The wrongs which call for redress are described (Psalms 10:1-11) and God’s interposition is invoked (Psalms 10:12-18).
1. God seems to be ignorant of what is taking place, or indifferent to it. The Psalmist, however, does not really believe this, or he would not appeal to God at all.
2b. RM ’They
Proverbs 10:2 Tesoros de maldad ] adquiridos por hacer mal ( Amós 3:10 ). En muchas sinagogas este v. Está inscrito sobre la caja de la limosna. Para los judíos posteriores, 'justicia' significaba limosna ( Daniel 4:27 ; Tob 4: 1; Tob 12: 9; Mateo 6:1 ).
Ecclesiastes 1:17 Y la necedad ] Intenta si el estudio de la necedad le puede dar alguna idea de su opuesto, a saber. sabiduría. Pero esto también solo sirve para confirmarlo en su conclusión general. Vejación de espíritu ] ver Eclesiastés 1:14 . Eclesiastés 1:14 .
Isaiah 13:10 El día de Jehová está acompañado de señales en los cielos como en Joel 2:10 ; Joel 2:31 ; Joel 3:15 ; Sofonías 1:14 ; Sofonías 1:15 . Tal lenguaje no necesita entenderse literalmente, pero expresa vívidamente una época de terror y consternación.
Isaiah 24:23 ofrece una ocasión adecuada, ( b ) el estilo literario es diferente al de Isaías, y ( c ) algunos de los pensamientos son característica de una época posterior, por ejemplo, la concepción de los espíritus guardianes de los reinos terrenales ( Isaías 24:21), y la anticipación de una resurrección del pueblo de Dios de entre los muertos ( Isaías 26:19 ). En estos detalles la sección muestra afinidad con el libro de Daniel ( Daniel 10:13 , Daniel 12:1 ; Daniel 12:1 ). Las expresiones amplias y generales
Jeremiah 3:24 Vergüenza] RV 'la cosa vergonzosa', es decir, el dios Baal: cp. Jeremias 11:13 . Ha devorado ] ha consumido en forma de sacrificios los frutos de nuestro trabajo.

Ezekiel 25:1-17

Daniel 6:1-28
The Den of Lions
Darius the Mede divides his kingdom into 120 satrapies, the whole being superintended by three higher officials, of whom Daniel was one (Daniel 6:1-2). Daniel is in special favour, and Darius meditates giving him a still higher office (Daniel 6:3). This rouses the jealousy of his colleagues,

Laws regarding admittance to the Congregation, cleanliness in the Camp, Unchastity, Usury, and Vows

Romans 13:1-14
The Christian’s Duty to the State and to his Neighbour
St. Paul now passes to the duties of Christians to the State. In Romans 12:19 he had condemned revenge; but he asserts here that the State may rightly punish, as God’s agent in temporal affairs. He enforces obedience to government, i.e. to social order, not to any special form of government. He gives no directions as
