列王纪上 15:25-26 RCUVSS

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Kings 15:1-34

Old Material for New Buildings 1Ki 15:22 In order to understand the text we shall have to remind ourselves of two or three historical circumstances. Baasha was king of Israel, Asa was the king of Judah. There was war between Baasha and Asa all their days. The king of Israel went up against Judah and built the strong fortress of Ramah, but the king of Judah strengthened himself by calling in, on the basis of an ancient treaty, the assistance of Benhadad, the king of Syria. Benhadad and Asa... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Kings 15:25-34

(25) ¶ And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years. (26) And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin. (27) And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon. (28) Even in the third... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 15:25

Two years, incomplete; since he commenced his reign in the second, and died in the third year of Asa, ver. 28. (Calmet) --- Petau only allows him, "a few months;" and supposes, that he had been associated on the throne with Jeroboam. But this is unnecessary. (Houbigant) --- Nadab was the first king of Israel, who fell a pray to the fury of his subjects. (Salien, the year before Christ 971.) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 15:25-34

25-34 During the single reign of Asa in Judah, the government of Israel was in six or seven different hands. Observe the ruin of the family of Jeroboam; no word of God shall fall to the ground. Divine threatenings are not designed merely to terrify. Ungodly men execute the just judgments of God upon each other. But in the midst of dreadful sins and this apparent confusion, the Lord carries on his own plan: when it is fully completed, the glorious justice, wisdom, truth, and mercy therein... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Kings 15:25-34

The Rule of Nadad and Baasha in Israel v. 25. And Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa, king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years, it being necessary here once more to regard parts of years as whole ones. v. 26. And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, in stubbornness and idolatry, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin. v. 27. And Baasha, the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Kings 15:16-34

Warring Brethren 1 Kings 15:16-34 We obtain a fuller view of the events described in the earlier part of this passage by reference to 2 Chronicles 16:1-6 . Asa’s early piety, which shone out in his drastic purging of idolatry and the corruptions which sprang up like fungi on a damp soil, cannot be questioned. Strange that such a man, who, by faith in God, had driven back Zerah’s formidable invasion, should in later years succumb to the craven methods of mere expediency in his conflict with... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 15:1-34

In this chapter we have the continuation of a sad story in the kingdoms of Judah and Israel. Under the reign of Abijam the process of deterioration went rapidly forward. He walked in the sins of his father, thus abusing the position he occupied. The corruption was not universal, for God maintained a lamp in the midst of His people, that is to say, there was still a remnant loyal to the divine Covenant which partially checked the development of evil. There was a break in this downward process... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 15:25-28

TWO BAD KINGS‘And Nadab reigned over Israel two years.’ ‘Baasha reigned in his stead.’ 1 Kings 15:25-Hosea : I. No doubt the reforms which Asa instituted in the south served to make Jeroboam more determined than ever to establish the calf-worship which he had introduced; and after his death his son Nadab perpetuated the same form of idolatry. But Nadab reigned only a short time. Less than two years after he became king, as he was besieging the town of Gibbethon, and endeavouring to drive out... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 15:25-31

The Reign Of Nadab Of Israel c.910-908 BC (1 Kings 15:25-31 ). Nadab was the son of Jeroboam following the proclamation of Ahijah the prophet that God would cut off the house of Jeroboam. He was thus doomed from the start, and the main item in his reign as far as the prophetic author was concerned was his assassination by Basha, and the assassination of all the males in his house by which YHWH’s pronouncement was fulfilled. He did, however, contribute towards his own downfall by following in... read more
