Bible Question:
I have just completed a study of 2 Chronicles forwards and backwards one might say, and have found a possible key verse right in the middle. What do you think? I will add my interpretation through capitalization. "I saw all Israel Scattered on the mountains, Like sheep which have no Shepherd; And the Lord said, 'These have no Master. Let each of them return to his house in peace.'" |
Bible Answer: Ray, Micaiah prophesies against Ahab is the context. It is specific. Do not take the verse out of CONTEXT. (xref 1Ki 22:17) Micaiah arrives and tells Ahab to attack and be victorious (vs 14) ... which Ahab knew wasn't true (vs 15). Verse 16 is saying that Ahab wasn't being a shepherd, nor thought of as a master. The one who went home in peace was Jehoshaphat (19:1). Read what Jeremiah said (10:21, 23:2 ... 31:10). Steve |
