Rehoboam succeeds him Then the LORD raised up against Solomon an adversary This phrase indicates divine intervention in the political affairs of Israel. The LORD's action here is a response to Solomon's disobedience, particularly his idolatry and turning away from God (1 Kings 11:1-13). The term "adversary" (Hebrew: "satan") is used to describe someone who opposes or acts as an enemy. This is a fulfillment of God's warning to Solomon that if he or his descendants turned away from following Him, He would raise up adversaries (1 Kings 9:6-9). This reflects the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where blessings and curses are contingent upon obedience (Deuteronomy 28). Hadad the Edomite from the royal line of Edom Persons / Places / Events 1. SolomonThe king of Israel, known for his wisdom, wealth, and building projects, including the Temple in Jerusalem. His reign is marked by peace and prosperity, but also by his eventual turning away from God due to foreign influences and idolatry. 2. Hadad the Edomite An adversary raised by God against Solomon. He was from the royal line of Edom, a nation historically in conflict with Israel. Hadad fled to Egypt as a child when David and Joab destroyed Edom, and he returned to be a thorn in Solomon's side. 3. Edom A nation descended from Esau, Jacob's brother. Edom had a tumultuous relationship with Israel, often characterized by hostility and conflict. 4. The LORD The covenant God of Israel, who actively intervenes in the affairs of nations and individuals, raising adversaries against Solomon as a consequence of his disobedience. 5. Egypt The place where Hadad found refuge and support before returning to Edom. Egypt often served as a place of refuge or threat in Israel's history. Teaching Points Consequences of DisobedienceSolomon's turning away from God led to the rise of adversaries. Disobedience to God can lead to turmoil and conflict in our lives. God's Sovereignty God is in control of history and can raise up individuals or nations to accomplish His purposes, even using adversaries to bring about His will. Historical Enmity The conflict between Israel and Edom is a reminder of the long-standing enmity that can exist between nations or individuals, often rooted in historical grievances. Seeking Refuge Like Hadad in Egypt, people often seek refuge in times of trouble. However, true refuge and security are found in God alone. Repentance and Restoration Despite Solomon's failures, God's promises to David remained. This highlights the importance of repentance and God's faithfulness to His covenant.(14-25) The events recorded in this section belong, at least in part, to the early years of the reign of Solomon. when the deaths of the warlike David and Joab, and the accession of a mere youth of avowedly peaceful character, may have naturally encouraged insurrection against the dominion of Israel. They are, no doubt, referred to in this place in connection with the prophecy just recorded, and the notice of Jeroboam's earlier career which it suggests. But it is implied in the case of Hadad, as it is expressly declared in the case of Rezon, that their resistance continued through all Solomon's reign. They were not, therefore, crushed, even in the days of his greatness, although then probably reduced to practical insignificance; they seem to have become formidable again during his declining years. (14) Hadad the Edomite.--The name (or rather, title) Hadad (with the kindred names Hadar, Hadadezer or Hadarezer, and Benhadad) is most frequently found as a designation of the kings of Syria. Here, however, as also in Genesis 36:35, 1Chronicles 1:46; 1Chronicles 1:50, it is given to members of the royal family of Edom. According to ancient authorities, it is a Syriac title of the sun--in this respect like the more celebrated title Pharaoh--assumed by the king, either as indicating descent from the sun-god, or simply as an appellation of splendour and majesty. The Hadad here mentioned seems to have been the last scion of the royal house, escaping alone, as a child, from the slaughter of his kindred and people. Verse 14. - And the Lord stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad [in ver. 17 written Adad, אֲדַד. Apparently this, like Pharaoh, was a title rather than a name. And, like Pharaoh, it is said to mean the sun. It was borne by a king of Edom in very early times, Genesis 25:15; Genesis 36:35, 39 (in the latter verse, as in Genesis 25:15, Hadar is probably a clerical error for Hadad, as the name stands in 1 Chronicles 1:30, 50, ד and ר being so very much alike. Gesenius, however, contends that Hadar is the true reading), and was also a favourite name with the kings of Syria, especially in the forms Benhadad, Hadadezer] the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.Parallel Commentaries ...
