1 Kings 11:3
_ _ he had seven hundred wives, princesses — They were, probably, according to an existing custom, the daughters of tributary chiefs, given as hostages for good conduct of their fathers.
_ _ concubines — were legitimate, but lower or secondary wives. These the chief or first wife regards without the smallest jealousy or regret, as they look up to her with feelings of respectful submission. Solomon’s wives became numerous, not all at once, but gradually. Even at an early period his taste for Oriental show seems to have led to the establishment of a considerable harem (Song of Songs 6:8). |
1 Kings 11:3
Seven hundred wives, &c. — God had particularly forbidden the kings to multiply either horses or wives, Deuteronomy 17:16-17, we saw 1 Kings 10:29, how he broke the former law, multiplying horses: and here we see, how he broke the latter, multiplying wives. David set the example. One ill act of a good man may do more mischief than twenty of a wicked man. Besides, they were strange women, of the nations which God had expressly forbidden them to marry with. And to compleat the mischief, he clave unto these in love; was extravagantly fond of them, Solomon had much knowledge. But to what purpose, when he knew not how to govern his appetites? |
