Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

11:14-25 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.


Pulpit Commentary

Verse 16. - For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel [i.e., the entire army, as in 1 Kings 16:16, 17], until he had cut off every male in Edom.


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

For six months did Joab remain with all Israel,.... With the whole army:

until he had cut off every male in Edom; as he supposed; for it was not fact, since after this they increased again, and became a powerful people, and had a king over them, and revolted from Judah, 2 Kings 8:20.

Hadad's Return
14And the LORD stirred up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom. 15For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom; 16(For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:)

Numbers 31:7 They fought against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses, and killed every man.
1 Kings 11:15 Earlier when David was fighting with Edom, Joab the commander of the army, who had gone up to bury the dead, had struck down all the men in Edom.
1 Kings 11:17 But Hadad, still only a boy, fled to Egypt with some Edomite officials who had served his father.
