This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ki_10:8 And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king’s sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entering in of the gate until the morning.
Ver. 8. Lay ye them in two heaps.] {a} Here some hard hearted Hannibal would have cried out, O formosum spectaculum! Oh, brave sight! Or, O rem regiam! as another, when he had slain three hundred. I am ready to say as one did on a like occasion -
“ Tu quibus ista legas incertum est, Lector, ocellis:
Ipse quidem siccis scribere vix potui. ”
{a} The world is like this heap of heads, that had never a heart amongst them.
