2 Kings 10:1-3

Reader! do not fail to connect with this view of the slaughter of Ahab's sons (or grandsons more likely) that solemn denunciation of God in the second commandment. Exodus 20:5. And recollect also, that as sin is the sad inheritance entailed upon our whole nature from the first wretched transgressor; so punishment is also connected with it. Romans 5:12. Oh! sweet is it to behold our inheritance in another Adam from the opposite holiness of his nature. Precious Jesus! how much more hath the grace of God, and the gift by grace which is by thee, abounded unto many. Romans 5:15.
