Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

): He reigned in Jerusalem (not, as his father, part of his time in Hebron and part in Jerusalem), over all Israel (not as his son, and his father in the beginning of his time, over Judah only), forty years. His reign was as long as his father's, but not his life.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Shall Solomon fall, that was the beauty of Israel, and so great a blessing of his generation? Yes, it is too true, and the scripture is faithful in relating it, and repeating it, and referring to it long after, Neh. xiii. There was no king like Solomon who was beloved of his God, yet even him did outlandish women cause to sin.
