Bible Commentary for 1 Kings 3:1

Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 3:1


3:1 Pharaoh - As being a powerful neighbour, whose daughter doubtlesswas first instructed in, and proselyted to the Jewish religion. It seems,this was designed by God to be a type of Christ, calling his church tohimself, and to the true religion, not only out of the Jews, but evenout of the Gentile world. City of David - Into David's palacethere. The wall - Which though in some sort built by David, yetSolomon is here said to build, either because he made it higher, andstronger, in which sense Nebuchadnezzar is said to have builtBabylon, #Dan 4:30|, or because he built another wall besides theformer, for after this time Jerusalem was encompassed with more wallsthan one.
