Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
But prophesy not - at Beth-el - He must not speak against idolatry, because that was the king' s religion; and he who speaks against the king' s religion must be an enemy to the state. This was the doctrine held in England by popish James 2 and his insidious Jesuit hireling priests, till God in his mercy put this pitiful tyrant down, and with him his false prophets, and the degrading superstition which they endeavored to establish in these lands.
