Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Kings 20:33

33 Now the men did diligently observe, whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it : and they said, Thy brother Benhadad . Then he said, Go ye, bring him: then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.

Or, they took that Word for a good token, and made haste and snatched it (i. e. that Word) from him, i. e. from his mouth; they repeated the word again, to try whether the King would own it, or it onely drop't casually from him; or made haste to know, whether it was from him: i. e. Whether he spoke this from his heart, or onely in dissimulation or design: for it seemed too good news to be true.

Understand, liveth: for that he enquired after, ver. 32.
