1 Kings 11 rCo Concordance Pattern Analysis

Solomon (20x)

Solomon stands in the chapter as the one who loved many foreign women in >violation of the LordrCOs command. He clung to these women in affection, >allowing those attachments to redirect his heart away from exclusive >devotion to the Lord. His actions move from forbidden love to religious >compromise, as he went after other gods and did what was evil in the
sight of the Lord. He sanctioned idolatrous worship by building high
places for the gods of his wives. Throughout the chapter, Solomon
remains the consistent acting subject in love, compromise, worship, and >guilt, with no shift of responsibility to external forces.

David (16x)

David functions as the covenant benchmark rather than as a narrative
actor. His whole-hearted devotion to the Lord provides the standard
against which SolomonrCOs divided heart is measured. References to David >explain why judgment remains limited rather than total, since the Lord >preserves a portion of the kingdom for DavidrCOs sake. DavidrCOs name >anchors GodrCOs faithfulness to prior covenant promises while exposing >SolomonrCOs failure to meet that established standard.

not (12x)

The word rCLnotrCY repeatedly marks deviation from known commands and >limitations placed on judgment. Solomon did not keep the LordrCOs command >concerning foreign wives and did not follow the Lord fully. His heart
was not wholly devoted like DavidrCOs. At the same time, judgment would
not fall during SolomonrCOs lifetime, and the kingdom would not be torn
away completely. The pattern highlights both moral failure and divine >restraint, emphasizing incompleteness rather than total rejection.

all (11x)

rCLAllrCY defines scope and totality throughout the chapter. Solomon loved >women from all the nations the Lord had named, and those wives turned
his heart after all their gods. God declares His intent to tear away all
the kingdom, yet preserves one tribe in keeping with His covenant. The
word underscores the comprehensive nature of both devotion and
influence, while also framing judgment in sweeping terms that are >nevertheless restrained by promise.

Overall Pattern

The chapterrCOs word patterns concentrate responsibility on Solomon as the >acting subject, establish David as the covenant standard, expose partial >obedience through repeated negation, and emphasize total allegiance
through comprehensive language. Together, these elements shape a
narrative focused on personal accountability, divided loyalty, covenant >faithfulness, and restrained judgment.

Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (rCa), and God raised
Him from the dead?

That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death
penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death satisfied
God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John 2:1-2). This
means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your sins, and saving
you from eternal damnation.

On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on the
name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name of the
Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
