1 Kings 20:9

Study

       

9 Wherefore he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first, I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.

Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 9. And on this account it is perceived by the natural man, that, although the spiritual or internal man consents to be in subjection internally yet, from self-love, it restrains the desires and aspirations of the lower passions externally, and this because outward decorum requires it.
