12<\/strong>. they two made a league<\/em> ] The friendship was a close one, as may be seen from 1Ki 9:13<\/span>, where Hiram calls Solomon ‘my brother.’ It is probable that this alliance between Tyre and the successors of Solomon continued, even when the kingdoms of Israel and Judah were separated. Jezebel, Ahab’s wife, was a daughter of the Tyrian king Ethbaal.<\/p>\n The Lord gave Solomon wisdom – <\/B>It seems to be implied that Solomons divine gift of wisdom enabled him to make such favorable arrangements with Hiram.<\/P><\/p>\n The Lord gave Solomon wisdom, <\/B>i.e. he increased in wisdom more and more; which is here mentioned, because he showed his wisdom in all his transactions with Hiram. <\/P> <\/p>\n And the Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him<\/strong>,…. Which, among other things, appeared in his preparations for building the temple, and in his agreements with Hiram for timber and workmen for that purpose and by continuing and confirming friendship between himself and Hiram, who was so serviceable to him:<\/p>\n and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they two made a league together<\/strong>; in order to continue and establish peace and friendship between them, which Solomon might lawfully do, the Tyrians being no part of the seven nations with whom alliances were forbidden.<\/p>\n 1Ki 5:12<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> There can be no reason why any Christian prince may not make a league and peace with the Great Turk, Mogul, or the Tartar, as well as David and Solomon did with Hiram; the latter of whom renewed the same league that his father had made, according to the wisdom which God had given him. And, no doubt, the elements of the Christian religion advise and enjoin a peace with all men; that is, to refrain from and avoid all acts of hostility with all the world, who will live peaceably with us, as the best, if not the only way to propagate the true religion, and all manner of truth; and it is very strange, that they who do believe that the conscience cannot be compelled by war or violence, can believe that there are any people in the world with whom we should not preserve peace; except they think that there are men whom God has so reprobated, that he would by no means have them drawn from their error, and instructed in the knowledge of him; and that those men are to beget others of the same infidelity to the end of the world; a conclusion, which, how inevitably soever it must follow from such propositions, no man is arrived at the madness and wickedness to avow. <\/p>\n 1Ki 5:12 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.<\/p>\n Ver. 12.
