This was frequent among the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Scythians, Gauls, Africans, and others; and was the natural fruit of a religious system, which had for the objects of its worship cruel and merciless divinities. The king of Moab, in this case, sacrificed his son to obtain the favour of Chemosh his god, who, being a devil, delighted in blood and murder, and the destruction of mankind. The dearer anything was to them, the more acceptable those idolaters thought the sacrifice, and therefore burnt their children in the fire to their honour.

It ranks among vegetable poisons, as all intense bitters do; but, judiciously employed, it is of considerable use in medicine. It is said that the fruit, when ripe, is so full of wind that it bursts, and throws its liquor and seeds to a great distance, and if touched, before it breaks of itself, it flies open with an explosion, and discharges its foetid contents in the face of him who touched it.Reciprocal1 Kings 6:18 - knops; 2 Chronicles 4:3 - oxen; Job 30:4 - for their meat; Mark 16:18 - if Verse 40O thou2 Kings 4:9, 1:9, 1:11, 1:13; Deuteronomy 33:1; 1 Kings 17:18 deathExodus 10:17, 15:23; Mark 16:18Reciprocal2 Kings 13:19 - the man of God Verse 41he cast2 Kings 2:21, 5:10, 6:6; Exodus 15:25; John 9:6; 1 Corinthians 1:25 thereActs 28:5 harmHeb. evil thingReciprocal2 Kings 20:7 - Take a lump; Hosea 9:8 - with Verse 42Baalshalisha1 Samuel 9:4, 9:7 bread2 Kings 4:38; Exodus 23:16; Deuteronomy 12:6, 26:2-10; 1 Samuel 9:7; 2 Chronicles 11:13, 11:14; Proverbs 3:9, 3:10; 1 Corinthians 9:11; Galatians 6:6 of barley2 Kings 7:1, 7:16-18; Deuteronomy 8:8, 32:14; John 6:9, 6:13 the husk thereofor, his scrip, or garment, Note: Parched corn, or corn to be parched; full ears before they are ripe, parched on the fire: avery frequent food in the East. The loaves were probably extremely small, as their loaves of bread still are in eastern countries. But small as this may appear, it would be a considerable present in the time of famine; though very inadequate to the number of persons. Baal-shalisha, of which the person who made this seasonable present was an inhabitant, was situated, according to Eusebius and Jerome, fifteen miles north of Diospolis, or Lydda.ReciprocalExodus 22:29 - shalt not delay; Leviticus 2:14 - corn beaten; Joshua 14:6 - the man; 1 Kings 14:3 - And take; 17:14 - The barrel of meal; Daniel 1:15 - their; Matthew 4:4 - but; 14:16 - they; 15:33 - Whence; Mark 6:37 - give; 6:42 - General; 8:4 - From; 8:8 - they took; Luke 9:13 - Give Verse 43his servitor2 Kings 4:12 WhatMatthew 14:16, 14:17, 15:33, 15:34; Mark 6:37-39, 8:4; Luke 9:13; John 6:9 They shall eatMatthew 14:20, 15:37, 16:8-10; Mark 6:42, 6:43, 8:20; Luke 9:17; John 6:11-13ReciprocalRuth 2:14 - she did; 2 Kings 4:6 - when the vessels; 2 Chronicles 31:10 - we have had; Hosea 9:8 - with; John 6:7 - Two Verse 44ReciprocalRuth 2:14 - she did; 2 Kings 4:6 - when the vessels; 2 Chronicles 31:10 - we have had; Matthew 14:20 - were; Luke 9:17 - and there Verse 1 amNaamanLuke 4:27 a great2 Kings 4:8; Exodus 11:3; Esther 9:4, 10:3 withHeb. beforehonourableor, gracious, Heb. lifted up, or accepted in countenanceby himProverbs 21:31; Isaiah 10:5, 10:6; Jeremiah 27:5, 27:6; Deuteronomy 2:37; John 19:11; Romans 15:18 deliveranceor, victorya leper2 Kings 5:27, 7:3; Leviticus 13:2, 13:3, 13:44-46; Numbers 12:10-12; 2 Samuel 3:29; 2 Chronicles 26:19-23; 2 Corinthians 12:7ReciprocalGenesis 34:19 - honourable; Numbers 24:23 - when God; Joshua 8:7 - for the Lord; Judges 3:12 - and the Lord; 11:1 - a mighty; 2 Samuel 23:10 - the Lord; 1 Kings 8:41 - cometh out; 2 Kings 14:27 - he saved; 1 Chronicles 11:14 - and the Lord; 2 Chronicles 13:15 - God smote; Psalm 144:10 - that giveth; Proverbs 6:35 - regard; Daniel 2:48 - a great; Matthew 8:2 - a leper; Luke 5:12 - full; Acts 7:25 - God; 1 Corinthians 15:57 - giveth Verse 2by companies2 Kings 6:23, 13:20; Judges 9:34; 1 Samuel 13:17, 13:18 waited onHeb. was before, Psalm 123:2Reciprocal2 Samuel 4:2 - captains; 2 Chronicles 26:11 - went out; Proverbs 27:18 - so; Luke 7:2 - who; Ephesians 6:7 - good; 1 Timothy 6:1 - count Verse 3Would GodNumbers 11:29; Acts 26:29; 1 Corinthians 4:8 withHeb. beforehe would2 Kings 5:8; Matthew 8:2, 8:3, 11:5; Luke 17:12-14 recover him ofHeb. gather inReciprocalLeviticus 14:3 - be healed; 2 Kings 5:13 - his servants; 6:12 - Elisha; 10:1 - in Samaria; 2 Chronicles 6:32 - is come; Proverbs 27:18 - so; Luke 7:2 - who; 23:8 - and he; 2 Corinthians 11:1 - Would; Ephesians 6:7 - good; 1 Timothy 6:1 - count Verse 4and told his lord2 Kings 7:9-11; Mark 5:19, 16:9, 16:10; John 1:42-46, 4:28, 4:29; 1 Corinthians 1:26, 1:27
