SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:13
antes has andado en el camino de los reyes de Israel, y has hecho que fornicase Judá, y los moradores de Jerusalén, como fornicó la casa de Acab; y además has muerto a tus hermanos, a la casa de tu padre, los cuales eran mejores que tú,
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. And hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel , etc.] Worshipping the calves, and even Baal, with other idols, as they did: and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab ; meaning spiritual whoredoms or idolatries: and hast also slain thy brethren of thy father’s house, which were better than thyself ; more religious, more humane, more prudent, and fitter for government.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-20 - A warning from God was sent to Jehoram. The Spirit of prophecy migh direct Elijah to prepare this writing in the foresight of Jehoram' crimes. He is plainly told that his sin should certainly ruin him. But no marvel that sinners are not frightened from sin, and to repentance by the threatenings of misery in another world, when the certainty of misery in this world, the sinking of their estates, and the ruin of their health, will not restrain them from vicious courses. See Jehora here stripped of all his comforts. Thus God plainly showed that the controversy was with him, and his house. He had slain all his brethre to strengthen himself; now, all his sons are slain but one. David' house must not be wholly destroyed, like those of Israel's kings because a blessing was in it; that of the Messiah. Good men may be afflicted with diseases; but to them they are fatherly chastisements and by the support of Divine consolations the soul may dwell at ease even when the body lies in pain. To be sick and poor, sick an solitary, but especially to be sick and in sin, sick and under the curse of God, sick and without grace to bear it, is a most deplorabl case. Wickedness and profaneness make men despicable, even in the eye of those who have but little religion __________________________________________________________________
