1 Reyes 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 Reyes 11:25 In-Context

23 Dios tambi茅n incit贸 a Rez贸n hijo de Eliad谩 para que fuera adversario de Salom贸n. Rez贸n, que hab铆a huido de su amo Hadad Ezer, rey de Sob谩,
24 form贸 una banda de rebeldes y se convirti贸 en su jefe. Cuando David destruy贸 a los sirios, los rebeldes fueron a Damasco y all铆 establecieron su gobierno.
25 As铆 fue como Rez贸n lleg贸 a ser rey de Siria. Mientras vivi贸 Salom贸n, Rez贸n aborreci贸 a Israel y fue su adversario, de modo que agrav贸 el da帽o causado por Hadad.
26 Tambi茅n se rebel贸 contra el rey Salom贸n uno de sus funcionarios, llamado Jerobo谩n hijo de Nabat. Este Jerobo谩n era efrateo, oriundo de Sered谩; su madre se llamaba Zer煤a, y era viuda.
27 La rebeli贸n de Jerobo谩n tuvo lugar cuando Salom贸n estaba construyendo los terraplenes para cerrar la brecha en el muro de la Ciudad de David, su padre.
