Haydock's commentary
Chief men, probably including those perfidious wretches, who had so basely betrayed their trust, and slain the 70 sons of Achab, "the nobles of the kingdom, his kinsmen, and friends." (Chaldean; Arabic)
Friends. Some copies of the Septuagint have connoisseurs, or magicians, Leviticus xix. 31.
Priests, princes of the court (2 Kings viii. 18.) and those who offered sacrifice to idols, (Calmet) being of Achab's descendants. (Menochius)
He afterwards inveigled all the priests of Baal, to their entire ruin, ver. 19. (Haydock)
