G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 1:1-53

The two Books of Kings appear in the Hebrew Bible as one. Together they practically cover the whole period of kingly rule over the ancient people. The first Book deals mainly with events centering around two persons, Solomon and Elijah. The opening verses of this chapter give the account of the days of David's feebleness. These days created the opportunity for rebellion under Adonijah. A remarkable statement concerning the training of this son of David throws light on his action (verse 1Ki... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 1:1-53

SECTION 1. The Last Days Of David (1:1-2:12). The ‘and’ with which the book begins is clearly intended to link the book to the earlier books. The writer wanted it to be seen that he was carrying on the sacred history of YHWH. And he commenced his narrative by describing the events which established the kingship of Solomon, the one whom God especially loved (2 Samuel 12:24-25), as David’s life was coming to its close. But there is no direct continuation of any previous incident in Samuel. The... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 1:41-53

The Rebels Learn Of Solomon’s Coronation And Disperse Quietly While Adonijah Seeks Sanctuary At The Altar And Finally Receives Mercy (1 Kings 1:41-53 ). In view of the silence about the succession those who had gone with Adonijah had not as yet committed any specific offence. They had simply been guilty of presumption. (It was not an attempt to dethrone David, but to make clear who was suitable to be his co-regent). But now that Solomon had been officially anointed as king with the clear... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 1:1-53

1 Kings 1:1-2 Thessalonians : . Last Days of David and Accession of Solomon.— This chapter with the following has many analogies with the court history of David (2 Samuel 11-20). The narrative bears every sign of an authentic account of actual events, told with complete impartiality, and without any attempt to comment favourably or otherwise on the events related. David is represented as a very aged man nursed by his youngest wife, Abishag the Shunammite ( 1 Kings 1:3). Her beauty is... read more

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—1 Kings 1:47. King bowed himself upon his bed—His infirmities allowed him to do no more (compare Genesis 47:31). HOMILETICS OF 1 Kings 1:41-49THE DEFEAT OF REBELLIONI. That rebels are more intent on selfish indulgence than the public good. “As they had made an end of eating” (1 Kings 1:41). Adonijah and his supporters had given themselves up to festivity; and the entertainment must have been greatly prolonged, as all the arrangements for crowning and proclaiming... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 1:1-53

Tonight let's turn to First Kings beginning with chapter one.First Kings, of course, is just the continuation of the history of the kings of Judah and Israel. First and Second Samuel are taken up pretty much with the time from Samuel through the reign of David. As we get into the book of the Kings, we continue now the story of the history of the kings of Israel and Judah after David passes from the scene.First and Second Kings actually cover a period of approximately four hundred years and they... read more

1 Kings 1:2 . A young virgin. This raised Abishag to the rank of a betrothed wife. No doubt there were precedents for this conduct, but history is silent on the subject. 1 Kings 1:5 . Then Adonijah, the younger brother of Absalom, aspired to the throne. These youths being sons of a princess of Geshur, assumed a sovereignty over their brothers, whose mothers were daughters of Hebrew families. 1 Kings 1:6 . His father had not displeased him.
