1 Kings 11 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

Solomon's adversaries.

While Solomon kept close to God and to his duty, there was no enemy to give him uneasiness; but here we have an account of two. If against us, he can make us fear even the least, and the very grasshopper shall be a burden. Though they were moved by principles of ambition or revenge, God used them to correct Solomon. (1Ki 11:26-40)
