Subject: Solomon's judgment of Adonijah and Joab |
Bible Note: Good stuff, perhaps this is more specific to a certain interpretation than anything I have come across in general discussion. Take Joab specifically. No way it is simple that Solomon commands one to be executed in the tent before the altar of God. Even holding on to the horns of the altar. First, this signifies that God had utterly departed Joab, and what he represented. That being the 'blood shed without cause', the act is significant. And there was blood shed before the altar, a desecration? But the altar resided in the old, the new temple being built soon. As for the other, wishing to take away part of the wives (bride), to take part of the inheritance. More of a glimmer than a precept. Yet I am sure someone must have made these parallels, rightly or poorly, I just have never come across such. Thanks for your response, my blessing to you. |
