Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Kings 2:31
1 Kings 2:31. Do as he hath said Kill him, though he be there; take him from that place, and then kill him: for Exodus 21:14, doth not command the ruler to kill the murderer there, but to remove him thence; to take him from the altar, that he may die. That thou mayest take away the innocent blood from me Kings or judges owe that justice to God, whose vicegerents they are, as to inflict those punishments on offenders which the divine laws require them to inflict: or otherwise, the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Kings 2:32-34
1 Kings 2:32-34. The Lord shall return his blood The guilt of the blood which he hath shed. Upon his own head Shall make him alone bear the punishment of his iniquity. Who fell upon two men more righteous than he Of more ingenuous and generous tempers, abhorring such treacherous practices; and both of them devoted to, and employed in my father’s service. Prejudice, however, and anger seem here too much to have dictated Solomon’s expressions; for, it is certain, Joab had always been a... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 2:1-46
Opponents of Solomon executed (2:1-46)As he saw his death approaching, David passed on to Solomon advice aimed at ensuring stability to his reign and good government for God’s people. The first and most important point was a reminder to be faithful to God. God’s promises of a prosperous kingdom and a lasting dynasty required David and his successors to be obedient to God’s will. Without obedience, there was no guarantee of blessing (2:1-4; 1 Chronicles 22:6-16).David’s second piece of advice to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 2:34
So Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went up [not because the altar" stood higher up Mount Zion than Solomon's house" (Keil), but because Gibeon, where the tabernacle and brazen altar then were, stood higher than Jerusalem. It is remarkable that retribution thus overtook Joab on the very scene of his last murder, for it was "at the great stone which is in Gibeon" ( 2 Samuel 20:8 ), that he slew Amasa. Cf. 2 Kings 9:26 : "I will requite thee in this plat, saith the Lord"], and fell upon him,... read more
