Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Kings 3:1

Made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, as being a powerful neighbour. Took Pharaoh’s daughter; upon what conditions is not here expressed; but it is probable she was first instructed in and proselyted to the Jewish religion; as may be gathered, 1. Because he was not yet fallen from God, but loved the Lord, and walked in the statutes of David, 1 Kings 3:3; and therefore would never have married a gross idolater, which was so contrary to God’s law, and so pernicious in its consequences. 2.... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Kings 3:1-4

THE RULE OF WISDOMCRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—1 Kings 3:1. Pharaoh, king of Egypt—Probably Vaphres, but Winer suggests Psusennes. An alliance with so mighty a royal house shows that the Hebrew kingdom enjoyed high renown, and commanded influence among the nations. From the Egyptian monuments a supposed portrait of this princess has been obtained. The “Song of Solomon” is supposed to have her as the immediate theme. Brought her into the city of David—Not admitted into the stronghold of Zion,... read more

But he was wanting now to build a house for the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Kings 3:1-28

1 Kings 3:1 . Solomon took Pharaoh’s daughter. It would appear from the 45th Psalm, which the rabbins with one consent affirm, was the nuptial ode for this marriage, that David had made arrangements for it prior to his demise. The law, Deuteronomy 7:3, it is thought did not bear on this point, but against marriages with the Canaanites. 1 Kings 3:2 . Only the people sacrificed in high places, to the Lord, as their fathers and as Samuel had done. Moses however names but one place which... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 3:1

SOLOMON’S AFFINITY WITH EGYPT, 1 Kings 3:1. 1. Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh This seems to have been his first act of foreign policy, and was, perhaps, designed to counteract the influence of Hadad the Edomite, who had fled to Egypt during David’s reign, and was now securely housed in the royal family. See 1 Kings 11:14-22. Every thing in the history of Hadad naturally conspired to make him a settled enemy of the kingdom of Israel; and, perhaps, at a later period, he had a hand with... read more
