   ›Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:49–572 voices

   “The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth,....

   “A nation - from far - Probably the Romans. As the eagle flieth - The very animal on all the Roman standards. The Roman eagle is proverbial. Whose tongue thou shalt not understand - The Latin language, than which none was more foreign to the structure and idiom of the Hebrew.

   So He will give Israel over on account of the sins Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit.”

   ›Commentary on 1 Kings 14:161 voice

   “And he shall give Israel up,....

5. 1 Kings 14:21–31

   Meanwhile, Rehoboam son of Solomon reigned in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel in which to put His Name. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.

   ›Commentary on 1 Kings 14:21–312 voices

   “Our Lord Jesus Christ is genealogized, although being without genealogy according to deity, he entered into genealogy for you. And he is genealogized not similarly by the evangelists, which troubled many who encountered the writing. For Matthew, starting from Abraham, genealogizes him and continues until he says, "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way." And Matthew does not genealogize the one baptized but the one coming into the world; while Luke, genealogizing, does not bring down the genealogy but brings it up to God, the one being baptized.

6. 1 Kings 14:31

   And Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David; his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite. And his son Abijam reigned in his place.

   ›Commentary on 1 Kings 14:312 voices

   “And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David,.... Where David and Solomon were buried, 1Ki 2:10 and his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess; which is repeated, that it might be observed as what was the leading step to his idolatry, and the means of his continuing in it: and Abijam his son reigned in his stead; of whom there is a further account in the following chapter.

   “Slept with his fathers and was buried ... - Compare 1Ki 11:43. The expression is a sort of formula, and is used with respect to all the kings of Judah, except two or three. The writer probably regards the fact, which he records so carefully, as a continuation of God’s mercy to David. His mother’s name ... - The mention of the queen-mother so regularly in the account of the kings of Judah is thought to indicate that she had an important position in the state.

9. 1 Kings 15:16–24

   Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.

   ›Commentary on 1 Kings 15:16–242 voices

   “And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days: That is as long as they lived together; for Baasha died many years before Asa, and this must be reckoned from the time the war began between them.

   “There was war - That is, there was continual enmity; see on 1Ki 15:6 (note). But there was no open war till the thirty-sixth year of Asa, when Baasha, king of Israel, began to build Ramah, that he might prevent all communication between Israel and Judah; see 2Ch 15:19; 2Ch 16:1. But this does not agree with what is said here, 1Ki 16:8, 1Ki 16:9, that Elah, the son and successor of Baasha, was killed by Zimri, in the twenty-sixth year of the reign of Asa.

11. 1 Kings 17:1

    Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was among the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As surely as the LORD lives—the God of Israel before whom I stand—there will be neither dew nor rain in these years except at my word!”

    ›Commentary on 1 Kings 17:12 voices

    “Great is the virtue of fasting. Indeed, its military appearance is so beautiful that it delightfully attracts and elevates humans to heaven for fasting and for Christ: so powerful that it raises men up to heaven. And to use more human than divine examples, from the fasting mouth of Elijah a voice was uttered that closed heaven to the sacrilegious people of the Jews. For when Ahab, the king, had set up an altar to the idol, according to the words of the prophet, there was no rain for three years and six months upon the earth.

    “And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel,....

    “The rabbinical commentators conjecture that this prophet was Micaiah, the son of Imlah, who is mentioned below 1Ki 22:8. Hast thou seen all this great multitude? - The boast of Ben-hadad 1Ki 20:10, was not without a basis of truth; his force seems to have exceeded 130, 000 (compare 1Ki 20:25, 1Ki 20:29-30). In his wars with the Assyrians we find him sometimes at the head of 100, 000 men.

13. 1 Kings 22:1

    Then three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.

    ›Commentary on 1 Kings 22:11 voice

    “And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel. From the time that Benhadad made a covenant with Ahab; not three full years, but part of them: it was threatened by Elijah from the Lord, that Ahab's life should go for Benhadad's, because he had let him, go, 1Ki 22:42, but because of his humiliation, as is thought by Ben Gersom and others, it was respited for those three years; and now an opportunity and occasion would be given for the fulfilment of what was threatened.

    ›Commentary on 2 Kings 7:11 voice

    “You will also find similar things in the times of Elisha, when the son of Jader, king of Syria, came up against Samaria and besieged it. "And there was a great famine in Samaria for so long," Scripture says, "that a donkey's head became worth fifty shekels of silver and a quarter of pigeon dung five pieces of silver." But suddenly an amazing change occurs through the word of the prophet, who says, "Hear the word of the Lord.

    But the officer on whose arm the king leaned answered the man of God, “Look, even if the LORD were to make windows in heaven, could this really happen?” “You will see it with your own eyes,” replied Elisha, “but you will not eat any of it.”

    ›Commentary on 2 Kings 7:21 voice

    “Elisha said, "Tomorrow there will be relief from the siege and the famine in the city of Samaria." But an officer of the house of king Jehoram mocked these words and derided the word [of the prophet]. Elisha answered him what the Scripture relates here. …
