1 Kings 11:9

And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,

Ver. 9. And the Lord was angry with Solomon.] Though he were his Jedidiah, his darling. His chastisements laid on his children are the fruits of love displeased. The Antinomians say - but not truly - that God is never displeased with his people, fall they never so foully; no, not with a fatherly displeasure. See to the contrary, Isaiah 57:17 1 Corinthians 11:30 .

Which had appeared unto him twice.] Good turns aggravate unkindnesses. See on 1 Kings 9:2 .
