And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which [is] by Enrogel, and called all his brethren the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants:
Ver. 9. And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen.] Hitherto all went ‘hail well' with these gallants: and many a health, no doubt, was drunk to Adonijah: many a confident boast of their prosperous design, many a scorn of the despised faction of Solomon, &c. But the triumphing of the wicked is short. Job 20:5 See Trapp on " Job 20:5 "
