2 And Ahaziah fell through the netting in his upper·​·room that was in Samaria, and was·​·sick; and he sent messengers and said to them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall live from this sickness.


Commentarius in hunc versum  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 2. For then its faith and life are degraded through the abuse of the knowledges of Divine Truths in the letter of the Word, the internal things of spiritual worship being neglected, and evil affections prevailing; so that, in selfish fear, its members seek salvation in the extreme evils and falsities of faith alone which is barren and desolate.
