Commentaries on 1 Kings 1:40
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 40The people piped with pipes - They danced, sang, and played on what instruments of music they possessed. The earth rent - We use a similar expression in precisely the same sense: They rent the air with their cries.Read the comment

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 32-53Verses 32-53 The people expressed great joy and satisfaction in the elevation of Solomon. Every true Israelite rejoices in the exaltation of the Son of David. Combinations formed upon evil principles will soon be dissolved, when self-interest calls another way. How can those who do evil deeds expect to have good tidings? Adonijah had despised Solomon, but soon dreaded him. We see here, as in a glass, Jesus, the Son of David and the Son of God, exalted to…Read the comment
