This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
i.e. Make inquisition for my innocent blood; which he did not wish from any desire of private revenge, with which so wise and good a man would never be willing to die; but partly from a zeal to public justice, and the punishment of such gross wickedness; and partly to deter them, if possible, from completing their murderous intentions. But these words may as well be rendered indicatively as optatively,
The Lord will look upon it, and
require it, i. e. he will examine this action, and require satisfaction from you for it.
