Commentary

4 notes on this verse
Sat each on his throne - Or, “were sitting.” They had removed from the banquet 2Ch 18:2 to the void place, or empty space at the entrance of the gate Rth 4:1; 2Sa 15:2, where Ahab daily sat to hear complaints and decide causes. Each was seated upon his throne, the Oriental kings having portable thrones, which they took with them upon their journeys.

Note, Those are wretchedly hardened in sin, and are ripening apace for ruin, who hate God's ministers because they deal plainly with them and faithfully warn them of their misery and danger by reason of sin, and reckon those their enemies that tell them the truth.
