16

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 16. Spoke. Septuagint subjoin some words, which seem to be lost in the original: [“when Jeroboam was standing, on the festival day, upon the altar. And turning, he lifted up his eyes towards the tomb of the man of God,] who spoke these words.” Bible.—“The copies, from which this version was made, read differently from the modern copies,” and often better. Kennicott, diss. ii. p. 335.
