Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Smite me--This prophet is supposed (1Ki 20:8) to have been Micaiah.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

2 And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Benhadad, 3 Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.
