There is no ground of censure upon Solomon for cruelty orprecipitation in this instance. He had pardoned Adonijah’s formerconspiracy; but this new attempt was rebellion against the viceroyappointed by the divine King and called for condign punishment. Theoffice of executioner was among the Hebrews, as in other ancientcountries of the East, performed unceremoniously and privatelyoftenwithout any previous warningby the captain of the guard, or one ofhis officers (Mt 14:10<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n Then King Solomon sware by the Lord<\/strong>,….

This well-known formula of imprecationwhich the LXX. renders, May God do these things to me and add these things also was probably accompanied with some gesture signifying utter destruction.<\/p>\n 1Ki 2:23 Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.<\/p>\n Ver. 23.

Solomon evidently considered the request of Adonijah in this light; and was convinced that he was still aiming to seize the crown, to which he considered this as one step. But it is very doubtful, how far the plea either of policy or state necessity can justify Solomon in thus embruing his hands in his brother’s blood, whatever might have been his treasonable intentions or conduct. <\/p>\n spoken: Psa 64:8, Psa 140:9, Pro 18:6, Pro 18:7, Ecc 10:12, Luk 19:22 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Num 16:38 – sinners 2Sa 12:10 – the sword Pro 12:13 – wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips Pro 18:19 – brother Pro 20:2 – sinneth Hab 2:10 – sinned<\/p>\n 1Ki 2:23.
