1 Kings 1:1 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Old — Being in the end of his seventieth year. No heat — Which is not strange in a person who had been exercised with so many hardships in war, and with such tormenting cares, and fears, and sorrows, for his own sins (as divers of his Psalms witness) and for the sins and miseries of his children and people. Besides, this might be from the nature of his bodily distemper.

1 Kings 1:1

1 Now king David was old and strickena in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.
