 * the thirty.
  Isa 54:15 
   The Syrians, the besiegers, had their directions from a
   drunken king, who gave orders over his cups, while he was
   drinking at noon.  Drunkenness is a sin which is most
   detestable in all, but more so in a king than in a private
   individual, inasmuch as the greater weight a man's situation
   carries, whether from accumulated riches, family connections,
   hereditary authority, or invested command, so is the influence
   which his vices must have on those around him.  Perhaps it may
   be said, from past experience, that drunkenness, which is a
   most heinous sin in the sight of God, may be charged on those
   who indulge only now and then in that which may eventually
   lead them into drunkenness; for they shut their eyes against
   the most palpable facts, and rather than give up the paltry
   gratification of a debauch, involve thousands by their example
   to positive harm.  Benhadad's drunkenness was the forerunner
   of his fall.  Belshazzar also, we read, drank wine with his
   princes, his wives, and his concubines, and praised the gods
   of gold, silver, brass, iron, wood, and stone:  and in the
   same hour came forth the finger of a man's hand and wrote his
   doom on the plaster of the wall.  Those who fancy themselves
   perfectly secure, and above the possibility of falling, are
   commonly nearest their destruction:  there is always an Ahab
   read to take advantage of and improve the self-imposed
   imbecility.
