列王記Ⅰ 2:26-3:9 JCB

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 2:26-35

Solomon Deals Firmly With Adonijah’s Fellow-Conspirators, Abiathar and Joab (1 Kings 2:26-35 ). In this passage judgment falls on Adonijah’s fellow-conspirators. That they were genuinely so comes out in that Abiathar is included in the judgment in spite of Solomon’s kindly feelings towards him. In his case judgment involved being removed from his influential position as High Priest (a huge step for Solomon to take), and banished to live on his own estates. In the case of Joab, however, it... 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's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Kings 2:26

To Anathoth, a city of the priests, Joshua 21:18, to lead a private life there. Unto thine own fields; either that part of the suburbs which fell to his share, or other land which he had purchased there. See Jeremiah 32:7. At this time: he doth not fully pardon him, but only forbears him, and reserves to himself a liberty of punishing him afterwards, if he saw occasion; which he doth to keep him in awe, that he might not dare to raise or foment discontents or tumults among the people, which... read more

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—1 Kings 2:26. Not at this time put thee to death—It did not contain a threat that what was now deferred would be executed at a later date; the sentence would depend on Abiathar’s future conduct. HOMILETICS OF 1 Kings 2:26-27THE RETRIBUTION OF A FAITHLESS FRIENDSHIPFormerly, Abiathar had been a firm and attached friend of David, had attended him in all his wanderings when he fled from Saul, and was esteemed by the king with a special tenderness. It may be Abiathar... 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

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

1 Kings 2:26-27And unto Abiathar the priest said the king.Friends that fail usIn middle life--much more in old age--we may have many acquaintances, but we have few friends. “If,” said an old man quaintly, “my acquaintances would fill a church, my real friends could go in the pulpit.” Socrates used to keep two chairs only in his house: “One for myself, and another for a friend--when I find him!” How well then it is that there is a Friend “who sticketh closer than a brother”--a Guide and... read more

1Ki 2:26 And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou [art] worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted. Ver. 26. And unto Abiathar the priest. ] Cuius et Ioabi consilio atque auxilio usus est Adoniiah, who together with Joab had conspired with Adonijah, and had his hand elbow... read more
