COMMENTARY - ENDNOTES
885
Exile foretold.
886
A remez, or hint at both houses built strong under Solomon.
887
A three-part alliance, between Hiram of Tyre, or later Phoenicia, Egypt and Yisrael. A real commonwealth.
888
YHWH’s Name draws people to truth. Withholding it keeps them in error and religion.
889
“To illustrate a point about Yisraelite ethnicity (or the lack thereof), we look here at 1 Kings 10:1-13. Here, we are
told the queen of Sheba, having heard about the fame of Solomon, came to Jerusalem to visit him. And, according to
Ethiopian tradition, Sheba (called Makeda) married Solomon, and their son, Menelik the First, founded the royal
dynasty of Ethiopia. Let us for a moment assume that Sheba did number among the ‘hundreds’ who were Solomon’s
‘wives’ (1 Kings 11:3), and that a son was born of their union, and that when he was born, he looked just like his
dark-skinned Ethiopian mother. Now let us realize that this son, regardless of looks, was, like his father, of the tribe
of Judah. Taking this concept a step further, let us assume this son grew up and married an Ethiopian lady and that
they had sons, all of whom grew up to marry Ethiopian ladies and to have sons. On and on the process goes. And
while we are asleep at night, He who has in the past both “opened” and “closed” wombs (Gen 20:18, 30:22), could
have been turning all of Ethiopia into the tribe of Judah. Descendants of the twelve tribes could be anywhere, and
everywhere. And we would never know.” Wootten, Who Is Israel? pp. 73-74.
890
Twelve lions for the twelve tribes, on two sides of the steps symbolizing the future division of the House of
Dawid.
891
Spain. Europe.
892
Global empire.
893
Global empire.
894
Strangers to Torah.
895
As punishment for Solomon’s mixed worship the House of Dawid, or the 12 tribes, would be divided into two
houses with ten tribes going to his servant.
896
The kingdom will be divided after Solomon’s death.
897
Tribe of Judah, including Benjamin and Lewi incorporated within Judah.
898
A clear reference proving that Yisrael’s seed is even well mixed in with Edom, along with all the world’s nations.
The false accusation that the modern Jews are really Edom, is not only a lie, but as can be seen here all 12 tribes,
even non-Jewish Yisrael, has some Edomite seed and thus this mixing cannot be fully ascribed to Jewish-Yisrael
alone.
899
Yehravoam, means “Yah increases the nation.” How true that through the ten tribes to be placed under
Yehravoam, all nations would become full of Yisraelite seed.
900
Solomon in error divided the Efrayimites from the rest of Yisrael and made them servants in violation of Torah,
which forbids Yisraelites from being enslaved to other Yisraelites. This was the seed of discord.
901
Symbolizing all 12 tribes.
902
YHWH created the impenetrable boundaries between both houses according to His will. As YHWH, He also chose
not to fully heal that animosity and division, until after the coming of His beloved Son Yahshua, the Greater and
latter-day Dawid.
903
Tribe of Judah, including Benjamin and Lewi incorporated within Judah.
904
The ten tribes would now officially become the House of Yisrael/Efrayim/Joseph, also known in times past even
under the monarchy of Dawid as the former House of Saul, or sometimes even as the former House of Benjamin,
since Saul son of Kish was a Benjamite, who in those days affiliated with the embryonic House of Yisrael. In this
verse the split becomes officially pronounced and ordained by YHWH, although it seethed below the surface in
earlier times.
905
Rehoboam.
906
If he would prove faithful, YHWH would reconstitute all Yisrael under him. But of course this was not to be,
neither was it His will.
907
Even though He will split Yisrael into two houses it will not be forever, as they will reunite in the days of the King
Messiah Yahshua.
908
Missing Scroll.
909
Both houses.
910
Forty signifying the doomed House of Dawid, as 40 is the symbolic number of divine judgment.
911
A promise to continue their compulsory labor, in even worse conditions.
912
This was one reason for YHWH allowing the split, but there was a far greater divine purpose as seen in the
footnote on verse 24 later in this key chapter.
913
The official split. They saw no future of being part of the House of Dawid, and saw rather a people that were
committed to withholding their freedom, and their rights as free citizens of Yisrael. They left the House of Dawid and
the breech has been with us to this day. For more insight and understanding see The Full Restoration Of Yisrael
