列王纪上 11:40 CUVS

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 11:1-43

At this point the story of Solomon suddenly changes. The glory passes away, and we observe his rapid degeneracy and doom. The nature of the man had ever a strong animal side. His commercial enterprises led him into contact with surrounding peoples, and he allowed his heart to go after "strange women." The wrong thus begun invaded higher realms. He built temples for these women. There followed the demoralization both of the king and his people, until at last it was written, "The Lord was angry... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 11:14-40

YHWH Raises Up Three Adversaries to Solomon (1 Kings 11:14-40 ). At the commencement of his reign Solomon had had to deal with three rebels against the throne, Adonijah, Abiathar and Joab and Shimei (1 Kings 2:13-46). Now we learn of three adversaries whom, during the course of his reign, YHWH ‘raised up’ to be a thorn in Solomon’s side, Hadad the Edomite (1 Kings 11:14-22), Rezon of Damascus (1 Kings 11:23-26), and Jeroboam, the son of Nebat (1 Kings 11:27-40). The narratives are not in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 11:26-40

Jeroboam The Rebel (1 Kings 11:26-40 ). Because Solomon had not responded to YHWH’s chastening and had grievously sinned YHWH, now raised up one who was to be given the large part of Solomon’s kingdom. His name was Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and he was an Israelite, an Ephraimite from Zeredah. He had come to prominence because Solomon had observed how industrious and capable he was during some of his building work, and had therefore set him over ‘all the labour of the house of Joseph... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 11:1-43

1 Kings 11:1-John : . Sin of Solomon, and the Adversaries Raised up in Consequence.— From various differences in the arrangement of the earlier verses in the LXX and Heb., it has been supposed that in its original form the narrative merely recorded the fact that Solomon had a number of wives, and that he built sanctuaries and offered sacrifice to their gods. In its present form the influence of a Deuteronomic editor is unmistakable. But the account of Solomon’ s “ adversaries” ( 1 Kings 11:14... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Kings 11:40

This might come to the ears of Solomon, either, 1. By Jeroboam himself, who might speak of this, either out of vain-glory and ostentation, or with design to prepare the people for his purpose. Or, 2. By the servants. See Poole "1 Kings 11:29". Shishak king of Egypt; who was either, 1. Solomon’s brother-in-law, who yet might be jealous of, him, or alienated from him, because he had taken so many other wives to his sister, as is here noted, 1 Kings 11:1; or might cast a greedy eye upon the great... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Kings 11:14-40

HOMILETICS OF 1 Kings 11:14-40THE AGENTS OF DIVINE RETRIBUTIONI. Are secretly preparing when least suspected. Hadad and Rezon on the frontier, and Jeroboam under the shadow of the throne, were plotting mischief for the empire. In a time of unexampled peace and security, the seeds of rebellion were being sown. Things are not always what they seem. The loveliest flower may hide within its cup the deadliest poison. The mountain draped with richest verdure, and musical with forest songs, may simmer... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 11:1-43

Chapter 11Chapter eleven.But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughters of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites ( 1 Kings 11:1 );Now turn back for a moment to Deuteronomy chapter seventeen, beginning with verse fourteen. Here under the law four hundred years before the time of David, before the time of Solomon, God foresaw that the day would come when the people would demand a king. And so even in the law, God gave certain... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Kings 11:1-43

1 Kings 11:1 . Solomon loved many strange women, of gentile nations, and was connected with them. To this day thousands of women in India are married to great men merely as a mark of honour, and they die at home without ever seeing their unlawful husbands. 1 Kings 11:3 . Seven hundred wives. In the Canticle or Song of Solomon, he says that he had sixty queens, eighty concubines, and virgins without number, who were employed as maids and servants in his various palaces. Hence we ought... read more

1Ki 11:40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon. Ver. 40. Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. ] And with him Ahijah also, as saith the Chaldee Paraphrast, whereupon they both fled into Egypt Unto Shishak king of Egypt. ] Who might haply be offended with Solomon for taking so many wives besides his sister. read more

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge - 1 Kings 11:40

Solomon sought: 2 Chronicles 16:10, Proverbs 21:30, Isaiah 14:24-Daniel :, Isaiah 46:10, Lamentations 3:37 Shishak: This is the first time we meet with the proper name of an Egyptian king in Scripture, Pharaoh being the general appellation for all the sovereigns of that country. Some are of opinion that Shishak is the same with the celebrated Sesostris of the Greek historians; but it is probable that this king lived long before Solomon's time. Usher thinks him to be Sesonchis, and places the... read more
