For out:
This is probably an allusion to some fact with which we are unacquainted. History furnishes many instances of mean persons raised to sovereign authority, and of kings being reduced to the meanest offices, and to a morsel. Agrippa mounted the throne of Israel after having been long in prison; and similar instances are not wanting in modern times. "Then Pharaohª sentª° and calledª°¹ Joseph,ª and they brought him hastilyª° out of¹ the dungeon:ª and he shavedª° [himself], and changedª° his raiment,ª and came inª° unto¹ Pharaoh.ª" {Gen 41:14} + "Now¹ therefore let Pharaohª look outª° a manª discreetª° and wise,ª and setª° him over¹ the landª of Egypt.ª ... And Pharaohª saidª° unto¹ Joseph,ª I¹ [am] Pharaoh,ª and withoutª thee shall no¹ manª lift upª°¹ his handª or footª in all¹ the landª of Egypt.ª" {Gen 41:33-44} + "To set upª° on highª those that be low;ª that those which mournª° may be exaltedª° to safety.ª" {Job 5:11} + "He raiseth upª° the poorª out of the dust,ª¹ [and] liftethª° the needyª out of the dunghill;ª¹ ... That he may setª° [him] with¹ princes,ª [even] with¹ the princesª of his people.ª" {Psa 113:7-8}
also:
"And he took awayª°¹ the treasuresª of the houseª of the LORD,ª and the treasuresª of the king'sª house;ª he even took awayª° all:¹ and he took awayª°¹ all¹ the shieldsª of goldª which¹ Solomonª had made.ª° ... And kingª Rehoboamª madeª° in their stead¹ brasenª shields,ª and committedª° [them] unto¹ the handsª of the chiefª of the guard,ª° which keptª° the doorª of the king'sª house.ª" {1Kg 14:26-27} + "Jehoahazª [was] twentyª and threeª yearsª oldª when he began to reign;ª° and he reignedª° threeª monthsª in Jerusalem.ª And his mother'sª nameª [was] Hamutal,ª the daughterª of Jeremiahª of Libnah.ª¹ ... And Pharaohnechohª made¹¹ Eliakimª the sonª of Josiahª kingª° in the room¹ of Josiahª his father,ª and turnedª°¹ his nameª to Jehoiakim,ª and tookª° Jehoahazª away:²° and he cameª° to Egypt,ª and diedª° there.¹" {2Kg 23:31-34} + "In his daysª Nebuchadnezzarª kingª of Babylonª came up,ª° and Jehoiakimª became¹ his servantª threeª years:ª then he turnedª° and rebelledª° against him. ... And the LORDª sentª° against him¹ bandsª of the Chaldees,ª and bandsª of the Syrians,ª and bandsª of the Moabites,ª and bandsª of the childrenª of Ammon,ª and sentª° them against Judahª to destroyª° it, according to the wordª of the LORD,ª which¹ he spakeª° byª his servantsª the prophets.ª" {2Kg 24:1-2} + "So Jehoiakimª sleptª° with¹ his fathers:ª and Jehoiachinª his sonª reignedª° in his stead.¹" {2Kg 24:6} + "And Jehoiachinª the kingª of Judahª went outª° to¹ the kingª of Babylon,ª he,¹ and his mother,ª and his servants,ª and his princes,ª and his officers:ª and the kingª of Babylonª tookª° him in the eighthª yearª of his reign.ª°" {2Kg 24:12} + "And they slewª° the sonsª of Zedekiahª before his eyes,ª and put outª°¹ the eyesª of Zedekiah,ª and boundª° him with fetters² of brass,ª and carriedª° him to Babylon.ª" {2Kg 25:7} + "And it came to pass¹ in the sevenª and thirtiethª yearª of the captivityª of Jehoiachinª kingª of Judah,ª in the twelfthªª month,ª on the sevenª and twentiethª [day] of the month,ª [that] Evilmerodachª kingª of Babylonª in the yearª that he began to reignª° did lift upª°¹ the headª of Jehoiachinª kingª of Judahª out of prison;ªª¹ ... And his allowanceª [was] a continualª allowanceª givenª° him of¹¹ the king,ª a dailyª rateª for every day,ª all¹ the daysª of his life.ª" {2Kg 25:27-30} + "The breathª of our nostrils,ª the anointedª of the LORD,ª was takenª° in their pits,ª of whom¹ we said,ª° Under his shadowª we shall liveª° among the heathen.ª" {Lam 4:20} + "Whileª the wordª [was] in the king'sª mouth,ª there fellª° a voiceª fromª heaven,ª [saying], O kingª Nebuchadnezzar,ª to thee it is spoken;ª° The kingdomª is departedª° fromª thee." {Dan 4:31}
