| I Kings 21:24
| If Achab die in the city, the dogs shall eat him: but if he die in the field, the birds of the air shall eat him.
| Eat him. Yet God remitted something from the severity of this sentence; and Achab was buried in Samaria, 3 Kings 22:37. But his son was deprived of burial. (Tirinus) (4 Kings 9:26.) --- According to the Hebrew, the prediction related to Achab's posterity, as the Chaldean, Septuagint, Syriac, etc., have understood it. (Calmet) --- Protestants, "him that dieth of Achab in the city," etc.
