Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The circumstances of Shishak's invasion, related here with extreme brevity, are given with some fulness by the author of Chronicles (marginal reference). It is still a question whether the submission of the Jewish king is or is not expressly recorded in the Karnak inscription. Midway in the list of cities and tribes occurs the entry "YUDeH-MALK" which it has been proposed to translate "Judah, king." Others regard it as the name of a Palestinian town not otherwise known to us. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
He took - First the city: which may seem strange, considering the great strength of it, and how much time it took Nebuchadnezzar and Titus to take it. But, first, it might cost Shishak also a long siege though that be not here related. Secondly, it is probable David and Solomon in their building and altering the city, had more respect to state and magnificence than to its defence, as having no great cause to fear the invasion of any enemies. And it is certain, that after the division between Judah and Israel, the kings of Judah added very much to the fortifications of it. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
He took away the treasures - All the treasures which Solomon had amassed, both in the temple and in his own houses; a booty the most immense ever acquired in one place.
All the shields of gold which Solomon had made - These were three hundred in number, and were all made of beaten gold. See a computation of their value in the note on Kg1 10:17 (note). |
17 And he made three [07969] hundred [03967] shields [04043] of beaten [07820] gold [02091]; three [07969] pound [04488] of gold [02091] went [05927] to one [0259] shield [04043]: and the king [04428] put [05414] them in the house [01004] of the forest [03293] of Lebanon [03844].
