Verse 40<\/span>. And Shimei – went to Gath<\/B><\/I>] It is astonishing that with his eyes wide open he would thus run into the jaws of death.<\/P> <\/p>\n Went to Gath; <\/B>which, though highly dangerous, he attempted, partly, because he was blinded with covetousness and rage and against his servants, which two lusts have done, daily do, engage men to such courses and actions as are no less dangerous to their lives than this is; partly, because he thought length of time had worn this out of Solomons mind, and other mens thoughts; and that this being done secretly and speedily, would never have come to Solomons ears; or that Solomon would not be severe in this case, where it was not wantonness nor contempt of his authority, but the necessity of his household concerns, which put him upon it; and partly, because God withdrew from him the light of common prudence, and wholly left him to his own mistakes, and folly, and lusts; and withal, to the instigation of the devil, whose cunning and powerful artifices and insinuations he could not resist without Divine help. <\/P> <\/p>\n And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants<\/strong>,…. And demand them; through the passion he was in with his servants, and his hurry to get them home, and the covetous disposition which prevailed on him, he might forget, or be tempted to neglect, the prohibition he was under not to go out of Jerusalem; or he might think Solomon had forgot it; or that he could come and go secretly without his knowledge; or if he should know of it, he might hope he would never punish him with death for so small a fault; however, so it was ordered by the providence of God leaving him to his own lust, and the temptations of Satan, that he might suffer just punishment for cursing David:<\/p>\n and Shimei went and brought his servants from Gath<\/strong>; for the king being at peace with Israel, and a tributary to them also, did not choose to detain them, but delivered them up lest it should be resented, and bring him into trouble.<\/p>\n 40<\/strong>. <\/strong> Went, and brought his servants from Gath <\/strong> This some might think a slight offence, and not worthy of such bitter punishment as Solomon inflicted. But by this offence he broke his solemn oath, (compare 1Ki 2:43<\/span>,) and so was guilty of perjury. He also showed a reckless and restless spirit. When his slaves escaped he ought to have informed the king, and received from him permission to bring them back; but his neglect to do even that showed an incorrigible recklessness.<\/p>\n 1Ki 2:40 And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.<\/p>\n Ver. 40. And Shimei arose, &c.<\/strong> ] The dust of covetousness had blinded him: his passions also miscarried him – as they oft do better men – to his cost. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And brought his servants from Gath.<\/strong> ] But to the loss of his life. How many are there who cry out of this folly, and yet imitate it! These earthly things either are our servants, or should be: how commonly do men break the bound set them by God’s law, to hunt after them, though they perish for it!<\/p>\n arose: Pro 15:27, Luk 12:15, 1Ti 6:10 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 1Sa 27:2 – Achish 2Ki 12:17 – against Gath<\/p>\n 2:40 And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and {t} Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.<\/p>\n (t) His covetous mind moved him to risk his life, rather than to lose the worldly profit he had by his servants.<\/p>\n And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath. Verse 40. And Shimei – went to Gath] It is astonishing that with his eyes wide open he would thus run into the jaws of death.
