1 Kings 21:9-10
Proclaim a fast Gen 34:13-17; Isa 58:4; Matt 2:8, Matt 23:14; Luke 20:47; John 18:28 on high among Heb. in the top of two men Deut 19:15; Matt 26:59-60; Acts 6:11 sons of Belial Deut 13:13; Judg 19:22 Thou didst blaspheme Some, with Parkhurst, would render the original, bairachta elohim wamailech, "Thou hast blessed the gods and Molech;" a sense, however, which seems extremely forced, and is not acknowledged by any of the ancient versions, though the LXX and Vulgate render bairachta by ευλογησε, benedixit, "blessed." It is no unusual thing for a word to have opposite senses. Exod 22:28; Lev 24:15; Matt 26:59-66; John 10:33; Acts 6:13
