We can be too busy for the main business. Verse 40 is an indictment on many a person who needs to put first things first. “And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone.” When Ahab let Ben-Hadad go, he sinned against God’s commandment. Ahab had been too concerned about getting back his lost territories. He wanted a place of special advantage to trade in the city of Damascus. We need a renewal of a sense of priorities. The will of God demands first place. See Matthew 6:33.
