This threatening hath three several parts according to the three several sorts of persons whom it concerneth. The▪ I. is against Jezebel her self, who was the chief of them all, in these words, I will cast her into a bed. The meaning whereof may be gathered out of the like words of Jona••• to Ammon ▪ bidding him (a)lye down on his bed and make himself sick. So that Christs meaning is, that he will strike her with some grievous sickness: the place of the sick person being put for the sickness it self: As if he should say, Jezebel takes her pleasure in fornication, and thereto abuseth the bed▪ I will therefore send on her some great sickness which shall cast her into her bed.
