1 Reis 4

Henry - Thus Christ fed those whom he taught, five thousand at a time, more than ever Solomon’s table would entertain at once: all believers have in Him a continual feast. Herein, he far outdoes Solomon, that he feeds all his subjects, not with bread that perishes, but with that which endures to eternal life. 1 Kings 4:24 For he had dominion over everything west of the River, from Tiphsah even to Gaza, over all the kings west of the River; and he had peace on all sides around about him.

Solomon's Kingdom ca 971-931 BC ESV Global Study Bible PEACE REIGNED IN SOLOMON'S KINGDOM For - Term of explanation. What's it explaining? Why Solomon had (and had need of) such "hyperbolic" proportions of provisions for his court and retinue. He had a lot of mouths to feed! He had dominion (radhah) over everything west of the River (the Euphrates), from Tiphsah (see map = northern extremity of Solomon's dominion) even to Gaza (see on coast of map above), over all the kings west of the River (the Euphrates); and he had peace (shalom; Lxx = eirene) on all sides around about him - Recall that Solomon's name in Hebrew means "peaceful" and as is often the case in the Bible, names speak of characteristics or attributes and Solomon's name reflected his peaceful reign for 40 years! Dominion (07287) radhah means to have dominion, rule, dominate, subjugate, exercising domain, whether legitimate or not, over those who are powerless or otherwise under one's control. It referred to priestly rule (Jer 5:31), masters over their slaves (Lev 25:43), chief officers over their workers (1Ki 9:23), Solomon over his kingdom (1Ki 4:24), man in image of God ruling over creatures of God's creation (Ge 1:26, 28), the dominion of Israel over their subjects (Isa. 14:6), the command for Messiah to rule his enemies (Ps. 110:2), the rule of the King-Messiah (Isaiah 41:2). William White - This verbal root is found in later Semitic dialects (but not Ugaritic). It occurs in two senses. One is cognate to Akkadian radû although the Hebrew root developed the specialized meaning "to tread" and is used in the Qal stem in this sense only once (Joel 3:13), "Come! Tread! for the winepress is full, the vats are overflowing." The second meaning is "to rule" and is used some twenty-two times in the OT, occurring in every section and type of context. The initial usage appears in Genesis 1:28, "And let them rule over the fish of the sea." (The allusion to this verse in Psalm 8:6 [H 7] uses māshal.) There is no definite structure to its use in parallel poetry, as the root may be placed in either the first (Psalm 68:28) or the second hemistich (Psalm 49:15). rādâ does not occur as a synonym in proximity to the more frequent verb, māshal (q.v.). Generally rādâ is limited to human rather than divine dominion (Psalm 110:2, et al.) The root is used of the rule of Israel over its enemies (Isaiah 14:2) and of the Gentile nations' rule over subject peoples (Isaiah 14:6). A most difficult and unusual usage occurs in Lament. 1:13, RSV mistakenly reads, "From on high he sent fire; into my bones he made it descend," while KJV and JPS more precisely translate, "From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them." But to be preferred is the reading, "He sent fire from above into my very bones and it overruled them." There is one instance of the Hiphil stem in Isaiah 41:2, speaking of the reign of the king-messiah, "And causes him to rule over kings." (See online TWOT page 832) RADHAH - 23X/23V- dominated(1), had dominion(1), have dominion(1), prevailed(1), rule(12), ruled(4), ruling(1), subdued(1), subdues(1).

See Jehovah Shalom - The LORD our Peace The root meaning of shalom is to be whole or sound and this leads to translations that speak of completeness, wholeness, well-being, welfare and peace. Shalom also includes the idea of vigour and vitality in all dimensions of life. In short, shalom speaks of holistic ("holy") health for our souls and spirits.
