Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament (1765)

Slept - This expression is promiscuously used concerning good and bad; and signifies only, that they died as their fathers did. But did he repent before he died?

Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

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.

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

Solomon slept with his fathers - He died in almost the flower of his age, and, it appears unregretted. His government was no blessing to Israel; and laid, by its exactions and oppressions, the foundation of that schism which was so fatal to the unhappy people of Israel and Judah, and was the most powerful procuring cause of the miseries which have fallen upon the Jewish people from that time until now. I. It may now be necessary to give a more distinct outline of the character of this king.
