Exodus 31:12 — Y el SEÑOR habló a Moisés, diciendo: Ver. 12. Y el Señor habló a Moisés, diciendo. ] Ver Éxodo 31:1 . Éxodo 31:1 .

1 Kings 1:5 — prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. Exalted himself, saying, I will be king. — This was another of David’s darlings. Him and Absalom, David had honoured, as Eli had done his two wicked sons, above the Lord; 1 Samuel 2:29 therefore they proved a singular cross to him. I will be king. — Though David had declared Solomon to be designed king by God himself, 1 Chronicles 22:9-10 and Adonijah knew it to be so, and therefore called not Solomon and his party

1 Chronicles 21:1 — And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. And Satan stood up against Israel. — That is, The devil, as Job 1:6 Psalms 109:6 Zechariah 3:1-2 . Satan signifieth an adversary. So the devil is to God and his people, Revelation 12:9 ; Revelation 20:2 an adversary at law Aντιδικος . 1 Peter 5:8 hating them with an inward,

Ezra 1:11 — Todos los vasos de oro y plata eran cinco mil cuatrocientos. Todos estos los hizo subir Sesbasar con los de la cautividad que fueron llevados de Babilonia a Jerusalén. Ver. 11. Todos los vasos de oro y de plata ] Los mejores de los metales y, por tanto, el más apto para su uso y servicio, el que es bueno, Salmo 106:1 , mejor, Salmo 108:9 , el mejor, Filipenses 1:23 , la bondad misma, Mateo 19:17 . Cuya gran bolsa es la

Job 36:19 — [no], not gold, nor all the forces of strength. Will he esteem thy riches? — Tremellius rendereth it, thy nobility. Others read it thus, Will he regard thy crying in thine adversity? Or, That thou shouldest not abide in adversity? See Proverbs 10:2 ; Proverbs 11:4 , See Trapp on " Proverbs 10:2 " See Trapp on " Proverbs 11:4 " No, not gold — Which yet can do much with men. The Hebrew word signifieth finest gold, Job 22:24 , and hath its name from defending, because

Job 36:19 — ¿Valorará tus riquezas? [no], ni oro, ni todas las fuerzas del poder. Ver. 19. ¿Valorará él tus riquezas? ] Tremellius lo rinde, tu nobleza. Otros lo leen así: ¿Considerará tu llanto en tu adversidad? ¿O para que no permanezcas en la adversidad? Ver Proverbios 10:2 ; Proverbios 11:4 , ver Trapp en " Pro 10: 2 " Ver Trapp

Psalms 112:1 — Alabad al SEÑOR. Bienaventurado el hombre que teme al SEÑOR, que se deleita mucho en sus mandamientos. Ver. 1. Alabado sea el Señor ] Véase Salmo 111:1 . Bienaventurado el hombre que teme al Señor ] que le teme obedientemente, como se dijo antes, Salmo 111:10 ; que teme al Señor, como lo hizo Abraham, Génesis 22:12 , que es el hombre bendito aquí descrito,

Psalms 24:3 — prophet’s purpose is to show, that although God made all, yet he will not save all; but that there is a select number, culled and called out of the many, who shall be everlastingly happy; and these are here characterized, as they are also, Psalms 15:1-5 , wherewith this psalm hath great affinity, and is thought to have been composed at the same time, that is, saith R. David, post negotium Ornani Iebusaei, after the business with Araunah the Jebusite, when God by fire from heaven had pointed out

Psalms 53:1 — Salmo 53:1 «Al Músico principal sobre Mahalat, Masquil, [Salmo] de David. »El necio ha dicho en su corazón: No hay Dios. Se han corrompido, y han hecho abominables iniquidades; no hay quien haga el bien. Masquil, un Salmo de David ]. Establecido aquí a propósito

Psalms 67:1 — Song. » God be merciful unto us, and bless us; [and] cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. God be merciful unto us — sc. In sending his Son, and calling his elect, both among Jews and Gentries, to the participation of that gift, John 4:10 ; that benefit, 1 Timothy 6:2 . And bless us — Specially with all spiritual blessings in heavenly things in Christ Jesus, Ephesians 1:3 . And cause his face to shine upon us — Giving us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in

Isaiah 33:6 — especially, O Christ. Or, the stability of thy times and strong safeguard shall thy wisdom and knowledge be. "By his knowledge" - that is, by faith in him - "shall my righteous servant" (Jesus Christ) "justify many"; Isaiah 53:11 but these are also sanctified by him. The fear of the Lord is their treasure; they "hold faith and a good conscience, which some, having put away, concerning faith, have made shipwreck." 1 Timothy 1:19 See Trapp on " 1 Timothy 1:19 " The

Jeremiah 32:26 — Entonces vino palabra de Jehová a Jeremías, diciendo: Ver. 26. Luego vino la palabra del Señor. ] Ver Jeremias 32:1 . Jeremias 32:1 .

Ezekiel 1:20 — Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither [was their] spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature [was] in the wheels. Whithersoever the spirit was to go. — See Ezekiel 1:12 ; and take notice that whatever the instrument is, or means of this or that occurrence, God is the main agent. It is Christ who by his Spirit, Spiritus vitalis, worketh all in all in his Church. 1 Corinthians 12:16 Ephesians 1:11 Colossians 3:21

Matthew 8:19 — a honeycomb; or as a dog follows his master till he come by a carrion. Vix diligitur Iesus, propter Iesum. But, as Isaac loved Esau, for venison was his meat, Genesis 25:28 , and as Judah’s rulers "loved with shame, Give ye,"Hosea 4:18; Hosea 4:18 ; so do hypocrites; they serve not the Lord Jesus Christ, but their own bellies, Romans 16:18 ; they have his person in admiration only for advantage,Judges 1:16; Judges 1:16 ; they can bear the cross with Judas, so they may bear the bag

Mark 7:1 — Entonces se le acercaron los fariseos y algunos de los escribas que venían de Jerusalén. Ver. 1. Ver Trapp en " Mat 15: 1 "

1 Corinthians 11:10 — estate? Because of the angels — Present in the assemblies of the saints. This was set forth of old by the hangings of the tabernacle wrought with cherubims within and without. Others understand this text of ministers, frequently called angels, Haggai 1:12-13 Revelation 2:1 ; Revelation 2:8 ; Revelation 2:12 ; Revelation 2:18 ; Revelation 3:1 ; Revelation 3:7 ; Revelation 3:14 Judges 2:1 ; (that angel is thought to be Phineas); Ecclesiastes 5:6 ; "Neither say thou before the angel" ( i.e.

1 Corinthians 11:10 — Por eso la mujer debe tener poder sobre su cabeza a causa de los ángeles. Ver. 10. Tener poder ] Es decir, un velo, llamado en hebreo Radid, de Radad, para gobernar. Y de hecho, ¿qué era esta sujeción al marido, sino una especie de poder y protección derivados de la esposa, con respecto a su estado anterior? Por los ángeles ] Presente

2 Corinthians 3:6 — No de la letra ] A saber, de la ley, que requiere perfecta obediencia, presuponiendo santidad en nosotros y maldiciendo a los desobedientes; pero el evangelio (llamado aquí el Espíritu) presupone la impiedad y, como instrumento, nos santifica, Juan 17:17 ; Hechos 10:32 . Porque predicamos a Cristo, 1 Corintios 1:23 . Damos lo que predicamos. El Espíritu se recibe mediante la predicación de la fe, Gálatas 3:2 . Este maná es llovido en el dulce rocío del ministerio del evangelio, 1 Pedro 1:22

Galatians 3:4 — be yet in vain. If it be in vain — q.d. It is not in vain. God keepeth the feet of the saints, that they cannot altogether lose the things they have wrought, they cannot fall below his supporting grace; the Lord puts under his hand, Psalms 37:1-7 Yet it cannot be denied that a hypocrite may suffer, and all in vain, 1 Corinthians 13:3 , as did Alexander the coppersmith, who was near unto martyrdom, Acts 19:34 . See Trapp on " 1 Corinthians 13:3 "

1 John 1:5 — light in the midst; for can two walk together, and they not be agreed? Amos 3:3 . That was a devilish sarcasm of the Manichees, that God (till he had created light) dwelt in darkness, as if God were not eternal light, and dwelt in light unapproachable,1 Timothy 6:16; 1 Timothy 6:16 . But what madmen were the Carpocratian heretics, who taught (even in St John’s days, as Epiphanius testifieth) that men must sin, and do the will of the devils; otherwise they could not enter into heaven! These might
