Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Kings 3:16-28

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—1 Kings 3:16. Harlots—The Rabbins derive זנוֹת from זוּן, to feed, nourish; and the Targumist translates the word here, and in Joshua 2:1, by פונדקן, pundekon, hostesses, tavern-keepers. 1 Kings 3:20. Laid her dead child in my bosom—In order to escape the suspicion and charge of having killed her own child. 1 Kings 3:26. Her bowels yearned upon her son: רַחֲמִים, a Hebrew phrase for the seat of feeling, hence here “the tender mother love” (Keil); “for her... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 3:1-28

Chapter 3Now Solomon begins the gathering of wives of which it seemed had no end.He made an affinity with the Pharaoh of Egypt, and he took the Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her to the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about ( 1 Kings 3:1 ).So he took first of all the Pharaoh's daughter as his wife and later on he built her a house there in Jerusalem. 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

1 Kings 3:16-28Then came there two women.The true motherI. That sin produces suffering. The two women who came for judgment to Solomon were harlots; and the offsprings of their impurity were the means by which they were afflicted. The sin of unchastity is one of the most grievous of offences, because it is the one whose results are the most debasing and the most far-reaching. Of this sin, as of all others, it is eternally true, that the wages of sin is death.II. That in the most degraded... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Kings 3:17

1Ki 3:17 And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house. Ver. 17. I and this woman dwell in one house. ] They lived together, but scarce dwelt together, as one saith of married couples that disagree, quorum coniugium nihil aliud est quam coniurgium. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Kings 3:18

1Ki 3:18 And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we [were] together; [there was] no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house. Ver. 18. That this woman was delivered also. ] Hence some argue that they were not harlots, because they use not to bring forth children; or if they do, they usually make them away as soon as they are born. There was no stranger with us in the house. ] This made the case so difficult,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Kings 3:19

1Ki 3:19 And this woman’s child died in the night; because she overlaid it. Ver. 19. Because she overlaid it. ] And now she hath stolen my child; not that she careth for it, or grieveth for her own, but for fear she should be questioned for smothering her child. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Kings 3:20

1Ki 3:20 And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. Ver. 20. While thine handmaid slept. ] But how could she certainly tell what was done when she was asleep? The proofs in this cause alleged were so weak and unsatisfactory, that it was thought the wit of man could not determine it. But "a divine sentence was in the mouth of the king: his lips transgressed not in judgment." Pro 16:10 And... read more

1Ki 3:21 And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear. Ver. 21. To give my child suck. ] This is a check to those nice dames that needlessly refuse to suckle their own children. Not harlots only, but "sea monsters draw out their breasts, and give suck to their young." Lam 4:3 Behold, it was not my son. ] Though death had somewhat altered the features of the child, yet the... read more
