1 Kings 4:11 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:

Ver. 11. Which had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife.] He was, therefore, a man of worth: for Solomon, likely, was of Cato's mind; who, being to bestow a daughter, said, Malo virum pecunia, quam pecuniam viro indigentem, I had rather have to my son-in-law a man wanting money, than money wanting a man. Our Henry VIII was more happy in his one son and two daughters than Solomon. Solomon's son, Rehoboam, was both a fool and unfortunate; his daughters but obscure, and both of them subjects. But Henry was more happy in Edward his son, another Josiah, and his sisters both sovereigns of an imperial crown: howbeit he gave them, when he died, but ten thousand pounds apiece.
