1 Kings 17:25
And some one of Israel said: Have you seen this man that is come up, for he is come up to defy Israel. And the man that shall slay him, the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father's house free from tribute in Israel.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et dixit unus quispiam de Israël : Num vidistis virum hunc, qui ascendit ? ad exprobrandum enim Israëli ascendit. Virum ergo qui percusserit eum, ditabit rex divitiis magnis, et filiam suam dabit ei, et domum patris ejus faciet absque tributo in Israël.

Haydock's commentary
Tribute, and all public charges, which may be burdensome. (Calmet)
It does not appear that these words are addressed to any one in particular, nor that the king had authorized such a declaration. (Haydock)
Yet the people all persisted in the same declaration, so that a promise must have been made. (Menochius)
It was never at least fulfilled. (Haydock)
Christ having overcome the devil, receives the Church for his spouse. (Worthington)
