Haydock's commentary
Destruction. The prophets are said to perform what they foretell; to indicate the certainty of the event. Elias denounced death to Achab, Jezabel, Ochozias, and the two Jorams, 4 Kings ix. 12., and 2 Paralipomenon xxi. 12., &c. (Calmet)
Brokest. Greek, "those in honour from," &c., alluding to (Haydock) Ochozias and Joram, 4 Kings i. 16., and 1 Paralipomenon xxi. 15. (Calmet)
