John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Kings 2:37

Kidron — A brook nigh Jerusalem, which he particularly names, because that was the way to Bahurim, his former habitation: but this is not all, for the restraint was general, that he should not go forth thence any whither. Thy blood — The blame and guilt of thy blood shall lie upon thyself only.
