Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

The battle increased - See the margin; i. e. the tide of battle rose higher. Compare Isa 8:7-8. The king was stayed up in his chariot - The king’s wound made it impossible for him to remain standing without help; he therefore had himself supported in his chariot by attendants, in order that his soldiers might not lose heart, as they would be sure to do, if they knew of his peril. Ahab must not be denied the credit of right princely fortitude on this occasion. The midst of the chariot - literally, as in the margin.
