1 Kings 11:39 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

I will for this For Solomon's sin, mentioned 1 Kings 11:33; afflict the seed of David By rending the greatest part of the kingdom from them; but not for ever A time shall come when the seed of David shall not be thus molested by the kingdom of Israel, but shall flourish again in great power and prosperity; which it did in many illustrious kings of Judah, who reigned in glory when Jeroboam's family was extirpated. And at last the Messiah came, who united together the broken sticks of Judah and Joseph, and rules over Jews and Gentiles also.

1 Kings 11:39

39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.
