1 Re 11:25 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 11:25

And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon,
&c.] Not all the days of his life, see ( 1 Kings 5:4 ) , but all his days, from his first going into idolatry, to the end of his life:

beside the mischief that Hadad did;
and which, whatever it was, was not done till this time; for either, when he got leave from Pharaoh to go into his country, he lay hid there, waiting an opportunity to seize upon it; or by means of Pharaoh he got himself to be king of it, through the permission of Solomon, paying a tribute to him; but when Solomon was grown old, he revolted and refused to pay it, and rebelled against him, and gave him much trouble:

and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria;
not Hadad, but Rezon; he had an aversion to them, was a thorn in their side, and gave them much trouble, as well as had them in contempt, and bid them defiance, having made himself not only master of Damascus, but of all Syria.

1 Re 11:25 In-Context

23 Iddio fece ancora sorgere un altro avversario a Salomone, cioè: Rezon, figliuolo d’Eliada, il quale se n’era fuggito d’appresso Hadadezer, re di Soba, suo signore.

24 Or egli adunò appresso di sè della gente, e fu capo di scherani, quando Davide uccideva quella gente. Poi egli ed i suoi andarono in Damasco, e dimorarono quivi, e regnarono in Damasco.

25 E Rezon fu avversario ad Israele tutto il tempo di Salomone, oltre al male che fece Hadad; ed infestò Israele, e regnò sopra la Siria.

26 GEROBOAMO ancora, figliuolo di Nebat Efrateo, da Sereda, servo di Salomone, il nome della cui madre era Serua, donna vedova, si levò contro al re.

27 E questa fu la cagione, per la quale si levò contro al re: Salomone edificava Millo, e chiudeva la rottura della Città di Davide, suo padre.
