Commentaries on 1 Kings 4:11

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11Dor - See Joshua 11:2 note. It has always been a practice among Oriental potentates to attach to themselves the more important of their officers by giving them for wives princesses of the royal house. Hence, the union here between Ben-Abinadab (probably Solomon‘s first cousin, compare 1 Samuel 16:8) and Taphath. Compare 1 Kings 4:15.Read the comment
