F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Kings 1:41-53

Justice and Brotherhood the Foundations of the State 1 Kings 1:41-53 According to popular usage, Adonijah was the rightful heir to the throne. He was handsome and kingly in appearance and behavior. He was also in his prime, while Solomon was just out of his teens. So plausible was his address that the nation was bewildered, and old retainers of David’s throne were seduced. We are reminded in all this of the god of this world, 2 Corinthians 4:4 , who blinds the eyes of those who believe not,... read more

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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 1:43

WELCOME THE COMING—SPEED THE GOING KING!‘Our lord king David hath made Solomon king’ 1 Kings 1:43 The news of Adonijah’s coronation was brought at once, by the faithful Nathan, to the ears of the feeble sovereign. The prophet indignantly inquires. ‘ Is this thing done by my lord?’ I. Many a man asks a question about matters concerning which he is in no doubt whatsoever.—Sometimes he asks a question in order to convey information in that indirect manner. Sometimes he uses the interrogative... 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
