<p class="tab-1">This chapter begins with as melancholy a “but” as almost any we find in all the Bible. Hitherto we have read nothing of Solomon but what was great and good; but the lustre both of his goodness and of his greatness is here sullied and eclipsed, and his sun sets under a cloud. I. The glory of his piety is stained by his departure from God and his duty, in his latter days, marrying strange wives and worshipping strange gods, <a class="bibleref" title="1Kgs.11.4-1Kgs.11.8" href="/passage/?search=1Kgs.11.4-1Kgs.11.8">1 Kgs. 11:4-8</a>. II. The glory of his prosperity is stained by Gods displeasure against him and the fruits of that displeasure. 1. He sent him an angry message, <a class="bibleref" title="1Kgs.11.9-1Kgs.11.13" href="/passage/?search=1Kgs.11.9-1Kgs.11.13">1 Kgs. 11:9-13</a>. 2. He stirred up enemies, who gave him disturbance, Hadad (<a class="bibleref" title="1Kgs.11.14-1Kgs.11.22" href="/passage/?search=1Kgs.11.14-1Kgs.11.22">1 Kgs. 11:14-22</a>), Rezon, <a class="bibleref" title="1Kgs.11.23-1Kgs.11.25" href="/passage/?search=1Kgs.11.23-1Kgs.11.25">1 Kgs. 11:23-25</a>. 3. He gave away ten tribes of his twelve, from his posterity after him, to Jeroboam, whom therefore he sought in vain to slay (<a class="bibleref" title="1Kgs.11.26-1Kgs.11.40" href="/passage/?search=1Kgs.11.26-1Kgs.11.40">1 Kgs. 11:26-40</a>), and this is all that remains here to be told concerning Solomon, except his death and burial (<a class="bibleref" title="1Kgs.11.41-1Kgs.11.43" href="/passage/?search=1Kgs.11.41-1Kgs.11.43">1 Kgs. 11:41-43</a>), for there is nothing perfect under the sun, but all is so above the sun.</p>
