Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
"The cities of store" contained provisions stored up for the troops (compare Ch2 32:28). They seem to have been chiefly in the north - in Hamath Ch2 8:4 and Naphtali Ch2 16:4. On the "cities for his chariots," see Kg1 10:26 note.
By "that which Solomon desired to build" (see the margin) seem to be intended "pleasaunces" in or near the capital, and in the Lebanon range, built especially for the enjoyment of the king. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| And all the cities of store - Though, by the multitude and splendor of his buildings, Solomon must have added greatly to the magnificence of his reign; yet, however plenteous silver and gold were in his times, his subjects must have been greatly oppressed with the taxation necessary to defray such a vast public expenditure. |
