1 Kings 11:14 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom. — 1 Kings 11:14
Source Coverage: 1 Kings 11:14-25
While Solomon kept close to God and to his duty, there was no enemy to give him uneasiness; but here we have an account of two. If against us, he can make us fear even the least, and the very grasshopper shall be a burden. Though they were moved by principles of ambition or revenge, God used them to correct Solomon.
