a lattice:
The flat roofs of the eastern houses are generally surrounded by a parapet wall breast high; but instead of this, some terraces are guarded with balustrades only, or latticed work. Of the same kind, probably, was the lattice, or net, as the term shevacha seems to import, through which Ahaziah fell into the court. This incident proves the necessity of the law for the formation of battlements for roof ("When¹ thou buildestª ° a newª house,ª then thou shalt makeª ° a battlementª for thy roof,ª that thou bringª ° not¹ bloodª upon thine house,ª if¹ any manª ° fallª ° from¹ thence." {Deu 22:8}), which God graciously dictated from Sinai, which furnishes a beautiful example of his paternal care and goodness; for the terrace was a place where many offices of the family were performed, and business frequently transacted. "The motherª of Siseraª looked² ° out¹ at¹ a window,ª and criedª ° through¹ the lattice,ª Why¹ is¹ his chariotª [so] longª ° in coming?ª ° why¹ tarryª ° the wheelsª of his chariots?ª" {Jdg 5:28} + "My belovedª is likeª ° a roeª or¹ a youngª hart:ª behold,¹ he¹ standethª ° behindª our wall,ª he looketh forthª ° at¹ the windows,ª shewing² ° himself¹ through¹ the lattice.ª" {Sgs 2:9} + "Andª there satª ° inª a windowª a certainª young manª namedª Eutychus,² ¹ being fallen² ° into¹ a deepª sleep:ª and as Paulª was¹ longª ² preaching,ª ° he sunk downª ° withª sleep,ª and fell¹ downª ² ° fromª the¹ third loft,ª andª was taken upª ° dead.ª" {Act 20:9}

was sick:
"And a [certain] manª drewª ° a bowª at a venture,ª and smoteª °¹ the kingª of Israelª between¹ the jointsª of the harness:ª wherefore he saidª ° unto the driver of his chariot,ª Turnª ° thine hand,ª and carry me outª ° of¹ the host;ª for¹ I am wounded.ª °" {1Kg 22:34} *marg. "Behold,¹ with a greatª plagueª will the LORDª smiteª ° thy people,ª and thy children,ª and thy wives,ª and all¹ thy goods:ª ... And thou¹ [shalt have] greatª sicknessª by diseaseª of thy bowels,ª until¹ thy bowelsª fall outª ° by reason of¹ the sicknessª dayª by¹ day.ª" {2Ch 21:14-15} + "[Is] not¹ destructionª to the wicked?ª and a strangeª [punishment] to the workersª ° of iniquity?ª" {Job 31:3}

Baalzebub:
"But the angelª of the LORDª saidª ° to¹ Elijahª the Tishbite,ª Arise,ª ° go upª ° to meetª ° the messengersª of the kingª of Samaria,ª and sayª ° unto¹ them, [Is it] not because¹ ¹ [there is] not¹ a Godª in Israel,ª [that] ye¹ goª ° to enquireª ° of Baalzebubª the godª of Ekron?ª" {2Kg 1:3} + "And they saidª ° unto¹ him, There cameª ° a manª upª ° to meetª ° us, and saidª ° unto¹ us, Go,² °¹ turn againª ° unto¹ the kingª that¹ sentª ° you, and sayª ° unto¹ him, Thus¹ saithª ° the LORD,ª [Is it] not because¹ ¹ [there is] not¹ a Godª in Israel,ª [that] thou¹ sendestª ° to enquireª ° of Baalzebubª the godª of Ekron?ª therefore¹ thou shalt not¹ come downª ° from¹ that bedª on which¹ ¹ thou art gone up,ª ° but¹ shalt surely² ° die.ª °" {2Kg 1:6} + "And he saidª ° unto¹ him, Thus¹ saithª ° the LORD,ª Forasmuch as¹ ¹ thou hast sentª ° messengersª to enquireª ° of Baalzebubª the godª of Ekron,ª [is it] not because¹ ¹ [there is] no¹ Godª in Israelª to enquireª ° of his word?ª therefore¹ thou shalt not¹ come downª ° off¹ that bedª on which¹ ¹ thou art gone up,ª ° but¹ shalt surely² ° die.ª °" {2Kg 1:16} + "It is enoughª for the¹ discipleª thatª he beª ° asª hisª master,ª andª the¹ servantª asª hisª lord.ª Ifª they have calledª ° the¹ master of the houseª Beelzebub,ª how muchª moreª [shall they call] them of his² household?² ¹ ¹" {Mtt 10:25} + "Butª when the¹ Phariseesª heardª ° [it], they said,ª ° Thisª [fellow] doth² ° notª cast outª ° devils,ª butª byª Beelzebubª the princeª of the¹ devils.ª ...
