In the place where dogs licked, etc.—a righteous retribution of Providence. The prediction was accomplished, not in Jezreel, but in Samaria; and not on Ahab personally, in consequence of his repentance (I Kings 21:29), but on his son (II Kings 9:25). The words "in the place where" might be rendered "in like manner as."
ELIJAH DENOUNCES JUDGMENTS AGAINST AHAB AND JEZEBEL. (I Kings 21:17-29)
Hast thou killed, and also taken possession?—While Ahab was in the act of surveying his ill-gotten possession, Elijah, by divine commission, stood before him. The appearance of the prophet, at such a time, was ominous of evil, but his language was much more so (compare Ezekiel 45:8; Ezekiel 46:16-18). Instead of shrinking with horror from the atrocious crime, Ahab eagerly hastened to his newly acquired property.
