Commentary on 1 Kings 11:36
Theological / DevotionalA light. God intends that the path of the just shall be like a “shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” (Prov. 4:18). Thus it should have been with the light of David. It should never have gone out, but should have increased in brilliance in his posterity (1 Kings 15:4; 2 Kings 8:19; cf. 2 Sam. 14:7). The very opposite was the case. In Rehoboam the brilliance of the light was greatly diminished. It continued dim through the centuries until at last it flickered and went out when the remnant of Judah was carried captive into Babylon (2 Kings 25).
