列王纪上 2:43 RCUVSS

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 2:1-46

In the last charge of David there was first a recognition of the sphere of Solomon's safety. In all probability his personal influence had been great with his son, but now he was going "the way of all the earth." Great responsibilities would devolve upon that son. There was, however, a path of safety. It was absolute loyalty to God. One can imagine how, as David urged this upon his son, his own experience of disobedience would add weight and urgency to all he said. The remainder of the charge... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 2:13-46

King Solomon Firmly Establishes His Rule By Removing All known Rebellion From His Kingdom (1 Kings 2:13-46 ). Having been warned by his father David as to who had to be watched as he sought to establish his kingdom (the powerful but unreliable Joab, the son of his sister Zeruiah, and the belligerent but influential Shimei, the son of Gera, the Benjaminite - 1 Kings 2:5-9), and having himself given sufficient warnings to them which were not heeded, Solomon proceeded to eliminate Adonijah, Joab... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 2:43

“ Why then have you not kept the oath of YHWH, and the commandment that I have charged you with?” Then he asked him why he had not kept the oath of YHWH with which he had charged him, and the commandment that he had given him. Did he not realise that by breaking that oath and flagrantly disobeying the king’s commands he had committed the most serious of offences for which there could only be one penalty? It was high treason. 1 Kings 2:44 ‘ The king said also to Shimei, “You know all the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 2:1-46

1 Kings 2:1-1 Corinthians : . Death of David; Solomon Established on his Throne.— The main source of this chapter is the same as that of 1, but interspersed are Deuteronomic additions ( 1 Kings 2:3 f., 1 Kings 2:10-2 Kings :; 1 Kings 2:27). The authenticity of David’ s advice to Solomon has been disputed, especially the reasons given for procuring Joab’ s execution. Judged by any standard it places his character in an unamiable light. Solomon was advised to find a pretext for putting Joab and... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Kings 2:43

He was guilty both of rebellion against the express, and just, and (as himself called it) good command of the king, and of perjury against God; which were two high and heinous crimes. His oath he calls the oath of the Lord, because it was taken in God’s presence, and he was called upon as a witness of it, and as the avenger of all violations of it, and because the law of God obliged him to the performance of it. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Kings 2:36-46

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—1 Kings 2:37. Thy blood shall be upon thine own head—The legal form of the sentence of death (Leviticus 10:9; Leviticus 10:11-12, etc.). 1 Kings 2:38. Dwelt in Jerusalem many days; וָמִים רַבִּים 1 Kings 2:42. The word that I have heard is good. Pointed sometimes thus,—“The word is good; I have heard.” 1 Kings 2:46. So the king commanded—that he died—This was not merciless rigour. Shimei had committed perjury, had acted deceitfully and independently—not... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 2:1-46

Chapter 2So the days of David drew nigh when he was going to die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying, I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man ( 1 Kings 2:1-2 );Now here's father to son, and it's typical fatherly advice. Show yourself a man, son. Be strong. Show yourself a man. David coming to the end of the road. Now it is interesting to me that David's later years were spent in a feeble, physical condition, a man who must have been in tremendous... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Kings 2:1-46

1 Kings 2:5 . Thou knowest what Joab did to me. David does not mention Absalom, but that was the deed that touched his heart; the blood of Abner and of Amasa still cried to heaven. 1 Kings 2:9 . But his hoary head bring thou down to the grave with blood. Hebrews אל al; the conjunction should be read here disjunctively, as Proverbs 30:8. “Give me neither poverty nor riches.” Then the sense of David is, Neither pardon nor punish him; but if thou shalt find any fresh cause against him,... read more
