21 Behold, I will bring evil on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.
*Minor differences ignored. Grouped by changes, with first version listed as example.
The prophet changes, without warning, from speaking in his own person to speaking in the person of God. The transition is abrupt, probably because the compiler follows his materials closely, compressing by omission. One fragment omitted here is preserved in 2-Kings 9:26.
Behold, I will bring evil upon thee,.... Upon his own person, by cutting him off with a violent death, though his family was so numerous, having no less than seventy sons:
and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left Israel; See Gill on 1-Kings 14:10.
will make thine house, &c.--(see on 1-Kings 15:29 and 1-Kings 16:3-12). Jezebel, though included among the members of Ahab's house, has her ignominious fate expressly foretold (see 2-Kings 9:30).
