Why are the Nevi'im of Shomron and of Yerushalayim mentioned separately?
Radak: Nevi'ei Yerushalayim did not prophesize in the name of Ba'al.
Malbim: Nevi'ei Yerushalayim were much worse. They did not err. They wanted to fulfill their lust for adultery. They knew that their path is Sheker.
What is "Sha'arurah"?
Rashi: It is a lowly matter.
Radak: It is evil and filth.
Who transgressed adultery?
Radak: [The false Nevi'im] Tzidkiyah [ben Ma'asiyah] and Achav [ben Kuliyah] "va'Yin'afu Es Neshei Re'eihem" (29:23).
How did they strengthen Resha'im?
Rashi: They told them that they will have Shalom.
What is the meaning of "l'Vilti Shavu"?
Rashi: The sinners do not repent from their evil. Radak - they caused this. Similarly "l'Vilti Hakriv" (Bamidbar 9:7) - is not to offer. "Ul'Vilti Ra'u" (Yechezkel 13:3) is not to see.
What is the comparison to Sedom?
Radak: They are like Anshei Sedom.
Malbim: Also Sedom and Amorah had bad laws in order to fulfill their lusts 1 .
E.g. if Tom hit Harry's wife and made her miscarry, Harry must give to her to Tom until she becomes pregnant again. (Sanhedrin 109b). (PF)
What is the meaning of "v'Yoshveha ka'Amorah"?
Radak: The residents of Yerushalayim are like those of Amorah. I.e. the Nevi'im are like the nation and the nation is like the Nevi'im regarding evil deeds.
