列王纪上 10:23-26 CUNPSS

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Kings 10:14-29

“Solomon in All His Glory” 1 Kings 10:14-29 How dazzling is this description of Solomon’s glory! And yet our Lord said that it was excelled by a single lily of the field, Matthew 6:28 . Solomon’s glory was put on from without; the real beauty is that which unfolds from within. If only your soul is planted in the soil of God’s grace, it will array itself in the beauties of a holy life. The stainless robes are those which are washed in the blood of the Lamb. Observe again-this was not the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 10:1-29

The Queen of Sheba's visit to Solomon shows how far his fame was spread abroad. Moreover, reports had coupled Solomon's wisdom and greatness with the name of Jehovah. The Queen of Sheba saw what the government of God really meant. Arriving as she did at the time of the nation's peace and prosperity, she was constrained to speak of Solomon's greatness as exceeding all reports of the prosperity of his kingdom and the happiness of his subjects. But through all this she clearly saw that... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 10:23-29

The Ultimate Greatness Of Solomon (1 Kings 10:23-29 ). The author concludes his description of the magnificence of Solomon by indicating the impact that he made on the ancient world, both in reputation and in arms dealing. The build up has been intentional. He wanted it to be seen how gracious YHWH had been to Solomon, giving him a name in the world as He had given David (2 Samuel 7:9), and making him supremely wealthy and powerful. But as we have also seen he continually leaves us to... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 10:1-29

1 Kings 10. Visit of the Queen of Sheba.— By Sheba or Saba a district in S. Arabia is meant. The Sabæ ans were known to the Israelites as exporters of gold ( Isaiah 60:6, Psalms 72:15); Ezekiel ( Ezekiel 27:23) says that they dealt extensively with Tyre. In Job ( Job 1:15, Job 6:19), they are represented as marauders. The civilisation of Arabia was considerable, and much light has been thrown on it by scholars like Hommel and Glaser. Our Lord calls the queen of Sheba the “ queen of the south”... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Kings 10:14-29

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—1 Kings 10:15. Beside … of the merchantmen, and … merchants—the words rendered “merchantmen,” אַנְשֵׁי הַתָּרִים have been conjectured to mean “fines of the subject” (provinces); but, literally, they signify “men of the travellers” i.e., travelling traders dealing in the larger merchandise; then the word “merchants” רֹכְלִים—will mean “pedlers” dealing in inferior wares. Yet הַתָּרִים is used in Numbers 14:6 of the men Moses sent to view and report upon the land;... read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 10:23

1 Kings 10:23 (with Matthew 6:29 ) The life of Solomon is a mournful story. We can hardly wonder that though his real greatness made oblivion impossible, though his name will live as long as the human race endures, yet an evil shadow as of high hopes baffled, of a great cause lost, rests upon his memory. Great in himself, great in what was given him to achieve, the impression that he made overflowed the bounds of his own kingdom, and he appears again and again as the lord of spirits and the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 10:1-29

Chapter 10Now the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon and so she came to Jerusalem with a very great company of people, camels, spices, a lot of gold, and precious stones: and as she came to Solomon, she communed everything that was in her heart. And Solomon told her all of the questions that she asked: not any thing hid from the king, that he did not tell her. And the queen of Sheba had seen all of Solomon's wisdom, the house that he had built, the meat at his table ( 1 Kings 10:1-5... read more

1 Kings 10:1 . Sheba, from Saba, the eldest son of Cush. Genesis 10:7. The country extending itself from the Gulf of Persia to the Red sea. The claims of the Abyssinians to the queen of this country, seem grounded merely on the pride of unfounded tradition. 1 Kings 10:14 . Six hundred threescore and six talents of gold. The weight of one talent is estimated by Suidas at sixty pounds, or three thousand shekels of gold. A pound, a hundred drachms A drachm, six obeli An obulus, six brass... read more
