| I Kings 22:48 | And there was then no king appointed in Edom. | Edom. Hebrew and Chaldean, "but a deputy king," or viceroy; (Tirinus) so that the kings of Juda might equip fleets at Asiongaber, as the country of Idumea was subject to them ever since the time of David, 2 Paralipomenon 8:17. Under Ochozias, the son of Josaphat, the kings of Edom became independent, 4 Kings 8:20. (Calmet) --- Hitherto they had paid tribute. (Menochius) |
