21<\/strong>. counted offenders<\/em> ] The Heb. word is literally ‘sinners.’ Bath-sheba does not go so far as Nathan, and say that the lives of herself and her son are in peril, but leaves the king to think what the lot of those offenders would be whom Adonijah knew to have aspired to the throne.<\/p>\n Shall sleep – <\/B>This euphemism for death, rare in the early Scriptures – being found only once in the Pentateuch (margin reference.), and once also in the historical books before Kings 2Sa 7:12<\/span> – becomes in Kings and Chronicles the ordinary mode of speech (see 1Ki 2:10<\/span>; 1Ki 11:43<\/span>, etc.; 2Ch 9:31<\/U><\/span>; 2Ch 12:16<\/span>, etc.). David uses the metaphor in one psalm Psa 13:3<\/span>. In the later Scriptures it is, of course, common. (Jer 51:39<\/span>; Dan 12:2<\/span>; Mat 9:24<\/span>; Joh 11:11<\/span>; 1Co 11:30<\/span>; 1Co 15:51<\/U><\/span>; 1Th 4:14<\/span>, etc.)<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 21<\/span>. Shall be counted offenders.<\/B><\/I>] When Adonijah and his party shall find that I and my son have had this promise from thee by oath, he will slay us both.<\/P> <\/p>\n Shall sleep with his fathers, <\/B>i.e. die as his fathers did. See Gen 47:30<\/span>. <\/P> I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders; <\/B>we shall be punished with death as malefactors, as guilty of practicing against the right heir of the crown, and transferring the kingdom to Solomon, and covering our ambitious designs with a pretence of religion. <\/P> <\/p>\n 21. I and my son . . . shall becounted offenders<\/B>that is, slain, according to the barbaroususage of the East towards all who are rivals to the throne.<\/P><\/p>\n Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers<\/strong>,…. That is, shall die, and be buried in the sepulchre of his ancestors, where he shall lie till he awakes in the morning of the resurrection:<\/p>\n that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders<\/strong>; or “sinners” g; not as if she would be reckoned an adulteress, and her son as illegitimate, as some think, and so be branded and treated as such; but as being traitors, making pretensions to the throne, she on the behalf of her son, and he for himself, when he had no right to it, being the younger son, and not declared successor by his father.<\/p>\n g “peccatores”, V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, &c.<\/p>\n (21) Shall sleep with his fathers.<\/strong>Here this phrase, so constantly used in the record of the death of the kings, occurs in these books for the first time. (It is also found in the message of promise by Nathan. 2Sa. 7:12<\/span>, relating to the succession of the son who should build the Temple.) We find corresponding expressions in Gen. 15:15<\/span>; Deu. 31:16<\/span>. Without connecting with the use of this phrase anything like the fulness of meaning which in the New Testament attaches to the sleep of the departed servants of God (as known to be a sleep in Jesus), it seems not unreasonable to recognise in it, at least, a rudimentary belief in death as rest and not extinction. The addition, with his fathers, has probably a reference to the tombs of the kings; especially as we find that it is not adopted in the cases of Jehoram (2Ch. 21:20<\/span>) and Joash. (2Ch. 24:25<\/span>), who were not buried therein.<\/p>\n 1Ki 1:21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.<\/p>\n Ver. 21. Shall be counted offenders.<\/strong> ] Heb., Sinners. Erimus Mamzeres<\/em> – so Jerome senseth it, out of the Hebrew traditions – that is, we shall be accounted bastards and infamous. It is probable that Adonijah had spoken basely of Bathsheba as an adulteress, and of Solomon as illegitimate, and so not fit to be king. Or by sinners here understand rebels, and public enemies.<\/p>\n sleep with his fathers. See note on Deu 31:16. <\/p>\n offenders.

The history of the world demonstrates, that the lust of dominion has tempted men to commit the most enormous crimes. A father has destroyed his son, a son deposed a father, and a brother murdered a brother, in order to obtain a crown! <\/p>\n offenders: Heb. sinners, 1Ki 2:15, 1Ki 2:22-24 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Gen 43:9 – will be 1Sa 10:24 – God save the king 2Sa 7:12 – sleep 1Ki 1:12 – save 1Ki 11:43 – slept 2Ki 10:35 – Jehu slept 2Ki 13:13 – slept 2Ki 14:16 – Jehoash 1Ch 17:11 – go to be 2Ch 9:31 – slept 2Ch 32:33 – slept 1Th 4:13 – which are<\/p>\n 1:21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be {k} counted offenders.<\/p>\n (k) And so put to death as wicked transgressors.<\/p>\n Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders. 21. counted offenders ] The Heb. word is literally ‘sinners.’ Bath-sheba does not go so far as Nathan, and say that the lives of herself and her son are … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Kings 1:21”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8750\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
