This is called kirn, keren, and is only worn in reviews, or parades after victory." Such, it may be supposed, were the horns of iron which Zedekiah (who appears to have acted the hero returning from a military triumph) made for himself, when he presumed, in the name of Jehovah, to flatter his prince with the promise of victory: "Thus saith the Lord, With these thou shalt push Syria, until they be consumed."

"In one of the halls of the seraglio at Constantinople," says Deut. Lam. Motraye, "the eunuch made us pass by several little chambers, with doors shut, like the cells of monks or nuns, as far as I could judge by one that another eunuch opened." This exactly corresponds with the idea of a "chamber within a chamber;" and it would appear that Micaiah predicted that Zedekiah should fly for shelter to a Harem, which we have seen was deemed inviolate. - See note on 1 Samuel 19:16. 1 Kings 20:30; Isaiah 26:20Reciprocal1 Kings 22:24 - smote Micaiah Verse 25and carry him back2 Chronicles 18:8; Jeremiah 37:15-21, 38:6, 38:7; Acts 24:25-27Reciprocal1 Kings 13:4 - Lay hold; 22:27 - Put this fellow; 2 Chronicles 25:16 - Art thou made Verse 26Put2 Chronicles 18:15, 16:10; 1 Kings 22:26-28; Jeremiah 20:2, 20:3; Matthew 5:12; Luke 3:19, 3:20; Acts 5:18; 2 Corinthians 11:23; Revelation 11:10 this fellow1 Samuel 25:21; Matthew 12:24; Luke 23:2; Acts 22:22 bread of afflictionPsalm 80:5, 102:9; Isaiah 30:20 until I returnDeuteronomy 29:19; Psalm 10:5; Proverbs 14:16; 1 Thessalonians 5:2, 5:3Reciprocal2 Chronicles 18:8 - Fetch quickly; Jeremiah 29:26 - that thou; 37:15 - put Verse 27IfNumbers 16:29; Amos 9:10; Acts 13:10, 13:11 HearkenMatthew 13:9, 15:10; Mark 7:14; Luke 20:45, 20:46Reciprocal1 Kings 22:28 - Hearken; 2 Chronicles 18:34 - he died Verse 28the king1 Kings 22:29-33Reciprocal2 Chronicles 19:2 - Shouldest Verse 29I will disguise1 Samuel 28:8; 1 Kings 14:2-6, 20:38; Job 24:15; Jeremiah 23:24 put thou on thy robesPsalm 12:2; Proverbs 26:25 the king2 Chronicles 35:22, 35:23Reciprocal1 Kings 22:30 - disguised himself; 2 Kings 3:7 - wilt thou go; 2 Chronicles 18:9 - clothed Verse 30Fight ye1 Kings 20:33, 20:34, 20:42 small or great2 Chronicles 15:13; Genesis 19:11; Deuteronomy 1:17Reciprocal1 Kings 22:31 - thirty and two; 22:34 - wounded; 2 Chronicles 34:30 - great and small Verse 31Jehoshaphat2 Chronicles 13:14, 14:11; Exodus 14:10; Psalm 116:1, 116:2; 2 Corinthians 1:9, 1:10 the Lord2 Chronicles 26:7; Psalm 34:7, 46:1, 46:11, 94:17, 118:13 God moved themEzra 1:1, 7:27; Nehemiah 1:11; Proverbs 16:7, 21:1Reciprocal1 Kings 8:44 - shall pray; 22:32 - Jehoshaphat; 2 Kings 8:28 - he went; 1 Chronicles 5:20 - for they cried; 2 Chronicles 6:34 - they pray; 18:1 - joined affinity; 19:1 - in peace; 22:5 - Ramothgilead; Proverbs 16:1 - preparations Verse 32from pursuing himHeb. from after him, 1 Kings 22:33Reciprocal2 Chronicles 19:1 - in peace Verse 33a certain man1 Kings 22:34 at a ventureHeb. in his simplicity, 2 Samuel 15:11 between theetc. Heb. between the joints and between the breast plate, The shiryon, in Syriac, sheryono, seems to have covered both the back and breast of the warrior, and was consequently not properly a breast-plate, but a coat of mail or corslet. The corslet was made of flax or of wool woven very thick, of ox-hide, of brass, or of iron. The metallic corslet consisted not of solid piece, but of scales, hooks, or rings, connected like the links of a chain, that the warrior might move with greater ease.
