- grievous.  Heb. strong.  he came.
   * 2Sa 19:16-23 Jer 4:2

VERSE 9 
 - hold him.
  Do not consider him as an innocent man; for, as thou art a
  wise man, and knowest how to treat such persons, treat him as
  he deserves; only, as I have sworn to him that I would not put
  him to death, "bring not his hoar head down to the grave with
  blood."  So Solomon understood David; for, after he had
  commanded Joab to be slain, in obedience to his father, he
  sent for Shimei, and knowing he ought to be well watched, he
  confined him to Jerusalem for the rest of his life:  and so it
  appears David should be understood; for the negative particle
  {lo,} in the former clause, "hold him not guiltless," should
  be repeated in the latter clause, though not expressed;
  instances of which frequently occur in the Hebrew Scriptures.
  (See Jud 5:30.  1Sa 2:3.  Ps 1:5; 9:18; 38:1; 75:5.  Pr 5:16;
  24:12, etc.)  This is the view taken of the subject by Dr.
  Kennicott, and it seems the best and most correct mode of
  interpreting the text.

   * 1Ki 20:10 Ru 1:17 1Sa 14:44 2Sa 3:9,35; 19:13 2Ki 6:31
- if Adonijah.
  We have already seen, that the whole harem of an eastern
  monarch was a part of the regal succession (See note on 2 Sa
  16:23); and it was treason for a subject to claim any wife or
  virgin who had once formed a part of it.  Solomon evidently
  considered the request of Adonijah in this light; and was
  convinced that he was still aiming to seize the crown, to
  which he considered this as one step.  But it is very
  doubtful, how far the plea either of policy or state necessity
  can justify Solomon in thus embruing his hands in his
  brother's blood, whatever might have been his treasonable
  intentions or conduct.

- spoken.

- hast been.
   * 2Sa 15:24-29 Mt 10:42 Lu 22:28 Ga 3:4

VERSE 27 
 - So Solomon.
  This was for having taken part with Adonijah; but by it a
  remarkable prophecy was fulfilled.  God had told Eli, (1 Sa
  2:30-36) that the priesthood should depart from his house;
  Abiathar was the last of the priests of Ithamar, of which
  family was Eli the high priest.  Zadok, who succeeded, was of
  the family of Eleazar; and by this change the priesthood
  reverted to its ancient channel.

- that he.

- his house.
   * Ps 89:29,36,37; 132:12 Isa 9:6,7; 11:1-9 Lu 1:31-33; 2:14

VERSE 34 
 - Benaiah.
   * :25,31,46
- and fell.
  It appears that he slew him at the very altar.  The altar was
  so sacred among all the people, that, in general, even the
  vilest wretch found safety, if he once reached it.  This led
  to many abuses, and the perversion of public justice; and God
  decreed (Ex 24:14) that the presumptuous murderer, who had
  taken refuge at his altar, should be dragged thence and put to
  death.

- buried.
   * 2Ki 21:18 2Ch 33:20
- in the.
   * Jos 15:61 Mt 3:1

VERSE 35 
 - in his room.
   * Job 34:24
- Zadok.  See on ver.
   * :27 Nu 25:11-13 1Sa 2:35 1Ch 6:4-15,50-53; 24:3 Ps 109:8
   * Ac 1:20

VERSE 36 
 - Shimei.
   * :8,9 2Sa 16:5-9 Pr 20:8,26
- Build.
  No doubt Solomon suspected that Shimei's influence would be
  dangerous upon his own estate and among his numerous
  dependents in different parts of the land; and therefore he
  proposed to him, as the condition of his indemnity for former
  crimes, that he should live in Jerusalem under his eye, and by
  no means remove thence.  These terms Shimei readily agreed to,
  and solemnly swore to observe them; and for three years he
  lived unmolested and in affluence.  But growing secure, in
  contempt of Solomon's authority and of the oath of God, upon
  an unnecessary business he took a journey, which according to
  his own engagement forfeited his life.  Thus the Lord left him
  to be infatuated, that due punishment might be inflicted upon
  him; in order that every ringleader of opposition to Solomon's
  kingdom might be crushed, and others be intimidated by their
  examples.  Solomon's throne by the death of this man was
  established in peace, and became a type of the Redeemer's
  kingdom of peace and righteousness.--SCOTT.
