Introdução

XI.

The historical order in this chapter is curiously broken. (a) In 1 Reis 11:1 we have a notice of the polygamy and idolatry of Solomon, and the prediction of the transference of the kingdom to his servant; (b) This reference to Jeroboam suggests a brief record of the rising up of “adversaries” to Solomon, Hadad and Rezon, as well as Jeroboam himself, which belongs to the earlier times of Solomon’s reign (1 Reis 11:14). (c) After this digression there is the formal notice of Solomon’s death and burial (1 Reis 11:41).
