This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Here we see God did forbear the execution of his judgment decreed the space of one whole year, which may be upon Daniel’s words, and he did reform somewhat, as Ahab was spared a good while upon his humiliation, 1Ki_21:27; and God would try him by giving him space of repentance, as he did to them before the flood, Gen_6:3; and to Jezebel, Rev_2:21; but it is most probable, though he may be a little astonished at the first, when he heard God’s decree against him, yet having this respite, he grew hardened, and thought it was over, and therefore spreads his plumes and strutted in his pride as high as ever.
