列王纪上 11:36 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Kings 11:26-40

We have here the first mention of that infamous name Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that made Israel to sin; he is here brought upon the stage as an adversary to Solomon, whom God had expressly told (1 Kgs. 11:11) that he would give the greatest part of his kingdom to his servant, and Jeroboam was the man. We have here an account, I. Of his extraction, 1 Kgs. 11:26. He was of the tribe of Ephraim, he next in honour to Judah. His mother was a widow, to whom Providence had made up the loss of a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 11:36

And unto his son will I give one tribe ,.... Judah and Benjamin reckoned as one; See Gill on 1 Kings 11:13 , that David my servant may have a light always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there; or a kingdom, as the Targum; or an illustrious prince, a successor, shining in royal majesty and glory, to guide and direct, cheer and comfort, the people of Israel; be an honour to David's family, and a means of continuing the pure worship of God in the temple... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 11:36

That David my servant may have a light alway - That his posterity may never fail, and the regal line never become extinct. This, as we have already seen, was in reference to the Messiah. He was not only David's light, but he was a light to enlighten the Gentiles. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 11:29-39

The Message of Ahijah. As Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem with his commission from Solomon to rule as his lieutenant over the house of Joseph, meditating how he might use his fortune to construct a throne, he was met by Ahijah the Shilonite, who accosted him in a manner agreeable to his ambition. In the message of Ahijah we have— I. A PROPHECY . 1 . This was expressed in sign . 2 . The prophecy also is expressed in words ( 1 Kings 11:31-39 ). II. ITS REASONS .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 11:36

And unto his son will I give one tribe [cf. 1 Kings 11:32 , note], that David my servant may have a light alway before me [The same expression is found in 1 Kings 15:4 ; 2 Kings 8:19 ; 2 Chronicles 21:7 ; and compare Psalms 132:17 . Keil would explain it by 2 Samuel 21:17 ; but 2 Samuel 14:7 , "my coal which is left," appears to be a closer parallel. The idea is not that of a home (Rawlinson), but family, issue . We speak of the extinction of a family (Bähr) ] in... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 11:36

That David may have a light - Compare the marginal references. The exact meaning of the expression is doubtful. Perhaps the best explanation is, that “light” here is taken as the essential feature of a continuing “home.” read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 11:1-43

Solomon’s idolatry (11:1-43)Although some of Solomon’s marriages were for political purposes, most of his wives and concubines were probably given to him as gifts. These women usually brought their gods into Israel, and Solomon’s weakness in worshipping these gods led finally to his downfall (11:1-8). God’s judgment on Solomon and Israel was to bring the long-standing friction between northerners and southerners to a climax in the division of the kingdom. Only Solomon’s tribe Judah (which had... read more

4. Solomon’s apostasy ch. 11The writer brought Solomon’s weaknesses and sins, to which he only hinted previously, into the light in this chapter. Solomon had sown some seeds of departure from God and His Word early in his reign. They bore bitter fruit as he grew older. read more
