Commentary

Commentary on 1 Kings 1:41

Theological / Devotional

When Joab heard. With Solomon was a group of people who hailed the coronation of the new king with unrestrained delight and with shouts of joyous acclaim. With Adonijah was a company of conspirators just completing their festivities, which must, however, have been clouded by a measure of ill-concealed anxiety and apprehension. The sound of the trumpet that was to the one group a note of triumph came to the other as a note of doom. The quick ear of the seasoned warrior, Joab, was not slow in catching the significance of what was going on.
