When the Servants of Benhadad came to Ahab to sue for their Masters life; the Text saith (1 Kings 20.33.) The men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him (that is, whether any word of hope would come from Ahab) and they did hastily catch it: And Ahab had no sooner said, He is my Brother; but they catched at this as a word of comfort, they had what they looked for, and said, Thy Brother Benhadad. If thou ownest him as a Brother, surely thou wilt not use him as an Enemy: There is (to the point in hand) a holy cunning in catching up words, which drop from the lips of men in affliction; and 'tis our wisdom to make improvement of them.
