1 Reis 11:25

25 E foi adversário de Israel por todos os dias de Salomão, e isto além do mal que Hadade fazia; detestava a Israel, e reinava sobre a Síria.

1 Reis 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 Reis 11:25 In-Context

23 Deus levantou contra Salomão ainda outro adversário, Rezom, filho de Eliadá, que tinha fugido de seu senhor Hadadézer, rei de Zobá.

24 Pois ele ajuntara a si homens, e se fizera capitão de uma tropa, quando Davi matou os de Zebá; e, indo-se para Damasco, habitaram ali; e fizeram-no rei em Damasco.

25 E foi adversário de Israel por todos os dias de Salomão, e isto além do mal que Hadade fazia; detestava a Israel, e reinava sobre a Síria.

26 Também Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, efrateu de Zeredá, servo de Salomão, cuja mãe era viúva, por nome Zeruá, levantou a mão contra o rei.

27 E esta foi a causa por que levantou a mão contra o rei: Salomão tinha edificado a Milo, e cerrado a brecha da cidade de Davi, seu pai.
