1 Re 11:24 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 11:24

And he gathered men unto him
Perhaps some of the scattered forces of his master:

and became captain over a band, when David slew them of Zobah;
some that escaped enlisted under this man, and lived by plunder the remainder of David's reign, and so in the reign of Solomon unto his old age, when his heart was turned away from God to idols, by his wives:

and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus;
Rezon and his men went thither, not in David's time, for he put a garrison there, ( 2 Samuel 8:6 ) but towards the close of Solomon's days, and when Hadad set up in Edom, which gave him the hint to do the same at Damascus, of which he became king, and was the founder of that kingdom; after him there was a long race of kings there.

1 Re 11:24 In-Context

22 E Faraone gli rispose: "Che ti manca da me perché tu cerchi d’andartene al tuo paese?" E quegli replicò: "Nulla; nondimeno, ti prego, lasciami partire".

23 Iddio suscitò un altro nemico a Salomone: Rezon, figliuolo d’Eliada, ch’era fuggito dal suo signore Hadadezer, re di Tsoba.

24 Ed egli avea radunato gente intorno a sé ed era diventato capo banda, quando Davide massacrò i Siri. Egli ed i suoi andarono a Damasco, vi si stabilirono, e regnarono in Damasco.

25 E Rezon fu nemico d’Israele per tutto il tempo di Salomone; e questo, oltre il male già fatto da Hadad. Aborrì Israele e regnò sulla Siria.

26 Anche Geroboamo, servo di Salomone, si ribellò contro il re. Egli era figlio di Nebat, Efrateo di Tsereda, e avea per madre una vedova che si chiamava Tserua.
