2<\/strong>. of the nations<\/em> concerning which the Lord said<\/em> ] The prohibition of intermarriage with the nations of Canaan is given in Exo 34:16<\/span>; Deu 7:3-4<\/span>. Like so much else in the Law, it was a great ideal toward which neither the people nor their rulers were earnest in advancing, when they once became settled in some portion of the land.<\/p>\n Ye shall not go in unto them … – <\/B>These words are not a quotation from the Pentateuch. They merely give the general meaning of the two passages prohibiting intermarriage with neighboring idolators (marginal references). Strictly speaking, the prohibition in the Law of intermarriage was confined to the Canaanite nations. But the principle of the prohibition applied equally to the Moabites, Ammonites, and Edomites who all bordered on the holy land; and was so applied by Ezra Ezr 9:1<\/span> and Nehemiah Neh 13:23<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n Ye shall not go in to them, <\/B>i.e. marry them. See Poole “Gen 6:4<\/span>“. <\/P> They will turn away your heart after their gods<\/B>: possibly Solomon might think himself too wise to be drawn to idolatry by his wives, and therefore to be unconcerned in the reason of the law; and consequently free in some measure from the obligation of the law; and so, like our first parents, trusting his own fancy more than Gods word, he fell dreadfully. <\/P> <\/p>\n Of the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the children of Israel, ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you<\/strong>,…. That is, they should not intermarry with one another; this is to be understood of the last mentioned, the Hittites, who were one of the seven nations this law respected, De 7:1<\/span><\/p>\n for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods<\/strong>; which is the reason given for the making the above law, and was sadly verified in Solomon:<\/p>\n Solomon clave unto these in love<\/strong>; he not only took them, but kept them, and expressed a strong affection for them.<\/p>\n (2) Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. (3) And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. (4) For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. (5) For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. (6) And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. (7) Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. (8) And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n It is worth remarking how subtle the enemy of souls acted upon Solomon. Had Solomon begun without the instrumentality of women exciting his lusts, to depart from the Lord, the strength of his temptation would have been lessened. But by this inlet to the corruptions of nature he gradually paved the way for idolatry. So Balaam advised Moab concerning Israel. The daughters of Moab fascinated the poor Israelites by their charms, and when once they had been brought to prostitute their bodies the transition was soon made to the prostitution of their souls. Compare Num 25:1-2<\/span> ; Rev 2:14<\/span> . But Reader! pause over the alarming account as it refers to Solomon. Well may everyone that reads it cry out, Lord! what is man! Is this Solomon, the beloved, the Jedidiah of the Lord? Is this he who built the temple; and now over against it sets up an high place for the dunghill idol of Moab! Oh! precious, precious Jesus! I would say for my Self and Reader, Keep us, dearest Lord, keep us by thine almighty power through faith unto salvation!<\/p>\n 1Ki 11:2 Of the nations [concerning] which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: [for] surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.<\/p>\n Ver. 2. Solomon clave unto these in love,<\/strong> ] i.e., <\/em> In lust; which, when once set on fire, is as hard to be quenched as the fire of Etna. See Jdg 16:16<\/span> . Libidinous persons will not spare to bury name, substance, soul, carcass, all in the bosom of a filthy harlot.<\/p>\n Ye shall not go in: Exo 23:32, Exo 23:33, Exo 34:16, Deu 7:3, Deu 7:4, Jos 23:12, Jos 23:13, Ezr 9:12, Ezr 10:2-17, Mal 2:11 <\/p>\n surely: 1Ki 16:31-33, Num 25:1-3, Jdg 3:6, Jdg 3:7, 2Ch 21:6, 2Co 6:14-16 <\/p>\n Solomon: Gen 2:24, Gen 34:3, Jdg 16:4-21, 2Ch 19:2, Psa 139:21, Rom 1:32, Rom 12:9, 1Co 15:33, Rev 2:4 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Gen 34:8 – The soul Deu 30:17 – heart Rth 1:4 – wives 1Ki 11:4 – his wives 1Ki 11:9 – his heart Pro 7:26 – General Isa 2:6 – and they Mat 19:5 – cleave<\/p>\n 1Ki 11:2. Concerning which the Lord said Ye shall not go in unto them This relates especially to the Hittites and the Zidonians, and consequently the rest of the seven nations of Canaan, with whom they were forbidden to make any marriage, (Exo 34:16; Deu 7:3,) for the weighty reason here mentioned. For though they might marry women of other nations, if these women embraced the true religion, yet of the seven nations of Canaan they might not, although they were converted to their religion; lest the venom should lurk and lie hid, and at last break out and infect them. Great was the foresight wherewith God endowed Moses in giving this precept, as Grotius remarks; and the not observing it was of fatal consequence to the Israelites, and laid the foundation of their utter ruin. Solomon clave unto these in love Was extravagantly fond of them. He had much knowledge; but to what purpose, when he knew not how to govern his appetites?<\/p>\n Of the nations [concerning] which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: [for] surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon cleaved unto these in love. 2. of the nations concerning which the Lord said ] The … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Kings 11:2”<\/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-9122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9122","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=9122"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9122\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
