Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Kings 11:9
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
9-12. the Lord was angry with Solomon —The divine appearance, first at Gibeon [ :- ], and then at Jerusalem [ :- ], after the dedication of the temple, with the warnings given him on both occasions [ 1 Kings 3:11-14 ; 1 Kings 9:3-9 ], had left Solomon inexcusable; and it was proper and necessary that on one who had been so signally favored with the gifts of Heaven, but who had grossly abused them, a terrible judgment should fall. The divine sentence was announced to him probably by Ahijah; but there was mercy mingled with judgment, in the circumstance, that it should not be inflicted on Solomon personally—and that a remnant of the kingdom should be spared—"for David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, which had been chosen" to put God's name there; not from a partial bias in favor of either, but that the divine promise might stand ( 1 Kings 9:3-11.9.9- : ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-13" class="com-number"
