1 Chronicles 8:33 — Y Ner engendró a Cis, y Cis engendró a Saúl, y Saúl engendró a Jonatán, a Malquisúa, a Abinadab y a Es-baal. Ver. 33. Y Ner engendró a Kish. ] Este Ner también se llama Abiel. 1 de Samuel 9: 1 Los hebreos nos dicen que su nombre propio era Abiel; y que se llamaba Ner, es decir, lámpara o antorcha, porque eclipsaba a los demás en santidad. Tuvo otro hijo además de Cis, el padre de Saúl, a saber, Ner, el padre de Abner. 1 de

2 Chronicles 2:10 — will give to thy servants. — And shall not Christ’s servants and ministers have due maintenance? That which is given to them is given to Christ; as that which is here promised to Hiram’s servants, is promised to Hiram’s self, 1 Kings 5:6 ; 1 Kings 5:11 who, if he did not like it, is promised more. 1 Kings 5:6 The difference of the food and measures given by Solomon here, over and above that in 1 Kings 5:11 , may stand in this, that the former was for king Hiram’s court

Psalms 45:6 — throne, O God — Here the prophet directeth his speech not to Solomon (who never took upon him the name of God, as did Sesostris, king of Egypt, Antiochus Yεος , Caligula, and some other proud princes), but to Christ, Hebrews 1:8 , who is God, blessed for ever, αυτοθεος , not so called by an excellence only, as the angels are, Psalms 8:5 Hebrews 2:1-9 , nor by office and title only, as magistrates are gods, Psalms 82:6

Psalms 49:17 — carry nothing away — Nothing but a shroud, as that great emperor caused to be proclaimed at his funeral. He was a fool that on his death bed clapped a piece of gold into his mouth, and said, Some wiser than some; I will take this with me. See Job 1:21 1 Timothy 6:7 . See Trapp on " Job 1:21 " See Trapp on " 1 Timothy 6:7 " His glory shall not descend after him — No, nor be able to breathe one cold blast upon him, when he is burning in hell. Oh that wicked rich men would

Psalms 54:1 — Salmo 54:1 «Al Músico principal de Neginot, Masquil, [Salmo] de David, cuando vinieron los de Zif y dijeron a Saúl: ¿No se esconde David con nosotros? »Sálvame, oh Dios, por tu nombre, y juzgame con tu fuerza. Maschil ] Instruyéndonos , dice uno, a acercarnos

Proverbs 25:25 — news from a far country. As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news. — This and many more of these proverbs Solomon might well utter out of his own experience, for he sent out into far countries for gold, horses, and other commodities, 1 Kings 9:26 besides embassies of state, and inquiries into the natures and qualities of foreign parts and peoples. Of the conversion of other countries to the faith, he could not then hear, as we now may, and lately have good news from New England. Neither

Proverbs 4:3 — headed, and such a head better hearted, was not to be found among the sons of men, for he was "a man after God’s own heart." His counsel to his son therefore must needs be very precious and ponderous. See some of it, for a taste, in 1 Chronicles 28:9-10 . Tender and only beloved. — Filius a φιλος . The Greeks commonly called their children φιλτατα , the Latin chari, darlings, as he in Plautus, Domi domitus fui

Leviticus 22:20 — [But] whatsoever hath a blemish, [that] shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you. It shall not be acceptable. — Nay, it shall be abominable. Malachi 1:7 God requires the best of the best, fine flour without bran, Leviticus 2:1 , … and curseth that cheat, that having a sound or a fat male in his flock, bringeth to him a corrupt carrion, or a lean starveling, for sacrifice. Malachi 1:14

Ecclesiastes 1:16 — Hablé con mi propio corazón, diciendo: He aquí, he llegado a un gran estado y he adquirido más sabiduría que todos [los] que fueron antes de mí en Jerusalén: sí, mi corazón tuvo una gran experiencia de sabiduría y conocimiento. Ver. 16. Me comuniqué con mi propio corazón, diciendo, etc. ] Aquí Hugo de Sancto Victore procede a censurar a Salomón (como lo había hecho antes, Ec. 1:13). Ver Trapp en " Ec. 1:13 " de orgullo y vanagloria, pero con mayor orgullo. Para puerilis iactantiae

Ecclesiastes 3:10 — He visto el trabajo que Dios ha dado a los hijos de los hombres para que se ocupen en él. Ver. 10. He visto los dolores de parto de Dios, etc. ] No la fortuna, pero la Providencia ordena todos los sucesos cruzados; "una rueda" hay "dentro de una rueda"; Eze 1: 1-28, entonces, cuando los hombres pueden pensar que las cosas van sobre ruedas, a seis

Isaiah 12:2 — Behold, God is my Jesus; so Jerome readeth it. According to that of old Simeon "Mine eyes have seen thy salvation." And in this and the next verse salvation is thrice mentioned, so sweet it was to those that thus sang of it. See Trapp on " 1 Corinthians 1:8 " I will trust, and not be afraid. — There is an elegance in the Hebrew that cannot be translated. This spiritual security floweth from faith; experience should both breed and feed it. See Psalms 46:3 2 Corinthians 1:10 . For

Ezekiel 43:9 — Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever. Now let them put away their whoredom. — So shall all be well between us. See Jeremiah 3:1 Isaiah 1:18 . See Trapp on " Jeremiah 3:1 " See Trapp on " Isaiah 1:18 " Piscator; Ictus sapiat. Some read it, Now they will put away, …; and so they did, after the captivity, but will not be yet drawn to worship the true

Numbers 24:4 — He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open: Falling into a trance. — As was usual with the prophets; Genesis 15:12 Daniel 8:17-19 2 Peter 1:21 See Trapp on " 1 Peter 1:21 " They were carried out of and beyond themselves. And still - “ Amor Dei est ecstaticus, neque iuris Se sinit esse sui - ”

Zechariah 8:23 — tanto, no por convenio compacto o fraudulento; porque estaban muy separados y de diversas lenguas ( nam quisquo aliis barbarus, dice Calvino). De las naciones ] Porque Dios manifestado en carne, fue predicado a los gentiles, creído en el mundo, etc., 1 Timoteo 3:16 . Se apoderará, incluso se apoderará ] Como hacen los niños con las vestiduras de sus madres. Del que es judío ] ¿Quién no los sacudirá, como gentiles bastardos, dignos (incluso los mejores de ellos) de tener la cabeza magullada con la

Matthew 15:10 — foreheads: Noluerunt incantari; I would have healed these hypocrites, but they would not be healed. Yea, "When I would have healed Ephraim, then" (to cross me) "their iniquity was discovered," as the leprosy in their foreheads,Hosea 7:1; Hosea 7:1 . And from such uncounselable and incorrigible hearers, if a minister depart, he doth but his duty; the desertion is on their part, and not on his. "The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal,"1 Corinthians

John 1:2 — The same was in the beginning with God. The same was in the beginning — In the instant of creation, as Genesis 1:1 , therefore also before the creation, therefore from eternity, Ephesians 1:4 ; 1 Peter 1:10 ; Proverbs 8:22-23 . Hinc Iohannes augustum illud et magnificum Evangelis sui initium assumpsit. Mercer in loc. "The Lord possessed me" (saith Christ,

John 1:7 — que todos los hombres creyesen por él. Ver. 7. Lo mismo vino para un testigo ] Esto lo hizo con un testigo, verbis non solum disertis, sed et exertis. Testificó llana y abundantemente, con pronunciación clara y puntual, profesión, indignación, Juan 1:26 ; Juan 1:29 ; Juan 1:32 ; Juan 1:36 . Para que todos los hombres creyeran a través de él ] Nuestro Salvador esperaba que los hombres hubieran llegado tan lejos para escuchar a su precursor ya él como la reina de Saba vino a escuchar a Salomón,

1 Corinthians 10:10 — Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. As some of them also — viz. Numbers 14:1-5 And God said Amen to it,1 Corinthians 10:28; 1 Corinthians 10:28 . May he not justly say the same to our detestable God-damn-me’s? "As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you."

1 Samuel 21:1 — Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why [art] thou alone, and no man with thee? Then came David to Nob. — Not to that Nob beyond Jordan, Numbers 32:42 Judges 8:11 - as more remote from Saul; Procul a Iove, et procul a fulmine, - but to Nob a city of Benjamin near unto Anathoth, Nehemiah 11:32 1 Kings 2:26 where, at this time, was the tabernacle, with the altar; and therefore great store of priests attending

1 Samuel 21:2 — whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed [my] servants to such and such a place. The king hath commanded me a business. — Here David uttereth two lies in a breath, - as before him Jacob had done three, Genesis 27:19-20 though lying be a blushful sin, - whereunto he addeth another lie, 1 Samuel 21:8 and all deliberate. The like he doth to Achish, king of Gath. 1 Samuel 21:8 ; 1 Samuel 21:10 If the best man’s faults were written in his forehead, it would make
