1 Kings 11:24 Summary

This verse tells us about a man named Rezon who became an enemy of King Solomon. Rezon was able to gather a group of men to follow him and they eventually took control of the city of Damascus. This story teaches us about the importance of leadership and the power of influence, as seen in Proverbs 11:3. It also reminds us that God is our protector and defender, even when there are adversaries rising up against us, as seen in Psalm 23:4-5.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who was Rezon and why was he a problem for Solomon?

Rezon was a leader who gathered men to himself and became an adversary to Solomon, as seen in 1 Kings 11:23-24, he had previously fled from his master, Hadadezer king of Zobah, and eventually gained control in Damascus, causing trouble for Israel.

What event led Rezon to go to Damascus?

When David killed the Zobaites, Rezon captained a band of raiders and went to Damascus, as stated in 1 Kings 11:24, this event is also connected to the broader context of David's military campaigns found in 2 Samuel 10:15-19.

How does Rezon's story relate to the rest of 1 Kings 11?

Rezon's story is part of a larger narrative about the adversaries that rose up against Solomon, including Hadad, as mentioned in 1 Kings 11:14-22 and 1 Kings 11:25, these adversaries were part of God's judgment on Solomon for his sin, as seen in 1 Kings 11:9-13.

What can we learn from Rezon's ability to gather men to himself?

Rezon's ability to gather men to himself, as seen in 1 Kings 11:24, demonstrates the importance of leadership and the power of influence, as also seen in Proverbs 11:3, where it says that the integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.

Reflection Questions

  1. What are some ways that I can gather people to myself for good, like Rezon did for evil, and how can I use my influence to serve God and others?
  2. How can I learn from Rezon's example to be a better leader and to use my gifts and abilities to serve God and others, as encouraged in 1 Corinthians 12:4-7?
  3. What are some ways that I can be a source of trouble for God's people, like Rezon was, and how can I repent and turn from those ways, as seen in Psalm 51:10-13?
  4. How can I trust God to be my protector and defender, even when there are adversaries rising up against me, as seen in Psalm 23:4-5?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Kings 11:24

And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus. No JFB commentary on these verses.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Kings 11:24

Over a band, to wit, of soldiers, who fled and dispersed themselves upon that defeat, 2 Samuel 10, and others who readily joined themselves with them, and lived by robbery, as many Arabians did. They went to Damascus, when they were increased in number and strength, and took it, whilst Solomon was wallowing in luxury, and grown effeminate.

Trapp's Commentary on 1 Kings 11:24

1 Kings 11:24 And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them [of Zobah]: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.Ver. 24. He gathered men unto him.] He rallied his master’ s scattered forces, and therewith, after a while, he thrust out David’ s garrison, and reigned in Damascus.

Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Kings 11:24

(24) When David slew them of Zobah.—The account of this war is found in 2 Samuel 8:1-13. The kingdom of Zobah was evidently a powerful state at that time, at war with the Syrian kingdom of Hamath, but holding supremacy over the Syrians of Damascus, and the “Syrians beyond the river” Euphrates; and (as the record shows) accumulating vast treasures of gold, silver, and brass. The establishment of Rezon (and Hadad?) at Damascus must have taken place later; for at the time we find that David “put governors in Damascus,” and reduced its inhabitants to a tributary condition. Possibly there may have been some rising early in the reign of Solomon; for in 2 Chronicles 8:3, we find that Solomon had to “go up against Hamath-zobah,” with which expedition the foundation of Tadmor seems to be connected. But it is probable that the establishment of an independent power in Damaseus dated only from the later days of Solomon.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Kings 11:24

Verse 24. And reigned in Damascus.] Rezon was one of the captains of Hadadezer, whom David defeated. It seems that at this time Rezon escaped with his men; and; having lived, as is supposed, some time by plunder, he seized on Damascus, and reigned there till David took Damascus, when he subdued Syria, and drove out Rezon. But after Solomon's defection from God, Rezon, finding that God had departed from Israel, recovered Damascus; and joining with Hadad, harassed Solomon during the remaining part of his reign. But some think that Hadad and Rezon were the same person.

Cambridge Bible on 1 Kings 11:24

24. and he gathered men unto him] The LXX. (Alex.) says ‘men were gathered unto him.’ This only indicates different vowel points to the same consonants. But the difference in the sense would point to Rezon as one whom his countrymen regarded as a leader. and became captain over a band] (R.V. troop). The word is mostly used of martial gatherings, and organized forces, and this is the sense here. Rezon gathered, and trained his followers till they were able to dislodge the troops of Israel and establish themselves in Damascus. when David slew them of Zobah] The two last words are necessary to complete the sense. It is clear that others beside Rezon fled away. It may have been that Hadadezer was an unpopular king. Out of the fugitives Rezon formed for himself a troop, and awaiting his time, came back and assumed the sovereignty. and they went to Damascus] i.e. When an opportunity came about of entering into a city, they left what must before have been a wandering life of guerilla-warfare, and settled within walls. and dwelt therein] Making a permanent settlement, and may have continued some time before Rezon was made king. and reigned in Damascus] If this verb be correct, the sense is that this band of warriors seized the city, and made themselves in a body lords of the place and its people. But a very slight variation of the text would give the sense ‘they made them a king in D.’ which, of course, the narrative shews to have been Rezon. The Syriac has ‘and Rezon reigned in D.,’ while the Vulgate gives ‘and they made him king in D.’

Barnes' Notes on 1 Kings 11:24

And (they) reigned - A very slight emendation gives the sense, “they made him king at Damascus.”

Whedon's Commentary on 1 Kings 11:24

24. He gathered men — Partly, perhaps, from among the fugitives that escaped the slaughter of David, and partly from disaffected portions of the kingdom.
