DAUD KE SALOMO, KONFLIK
DALAM KELUARGA

4. The succession of Solomon to the
throne
◦ I Kings (chapters 1 and 2) continues the story of David and the struggle for the succession of his
throne.
◦ The sides were drawn between Adonijah, David’s eldest living son, and Solomon, the son of
David and Bathsheba.
◦ Supporting Adonijah were the “old guard”—the general Joab and the priest Abiathar—and
supporting Solomon were the priest Zadok, the prophet Nathan, and the captain of David’s
bodyguard, Benaiah.
◦ With David close to death, Adonijah prepared to seize control of the kingdom; Nathan,
however, requested Bathsheba to go to David and persuade David to proclaim Solomon the next
monarch.
◦ Following the advice of Nathan, David then appointed Solomon the heir to his throne; and
Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointed the son of Bathsheba king in Gihon.

5. Politik ‘Machiavelli’ ala Salomo
◦ After David died, however, Adonijah attempted to regain some semblance of prestige by asking
Solomon to give him Abishag, a young Shunammite woman who had been given to David in
his old age, as his wife.
◦ To this request Solomon answered by ordering Adonijah’s execution, which Benaiah carried
out. Solomon also ordered the execution of the old general Joab for having killed Abner and
Amasa years earlier as a loyal supporter of David, an execution again carried out by Benaiah,
who also executed Shimei, a man who had cursed David a long time earlier.
◦ Prior to these executions, which David—before he had died—had requested of Solomon, the
new king banished the priest Abiathar of the house of Eli to Anathoth, an act that confirmed the
position of Zadok as the principal priest of Jerusalem.

6. KERAJAAN ISRAEL RAYA DI
BAWAH SALOMO (UNITED
KINGDOM OF ISRAEL)

7. The reign of Solomon
◦ David had reigned from about 1000 to 962 BCE, a period in which he
consolidated a federation of tribes that had been united under
the charismatic leadership of Saul, who had reigned for about two decades
before David began to construct his minor empire.
◦ Solomon, who inherited a strong monarchy, reigned for 40 years. His
reputation as a monarch centred about his great wisdom (chapter 3), his
reorganization of the administrative bureaucracy (chapter 4), and his building
of the magnificent Temple (chapters 3–8).
◦ Though two sons of the prophet Nathan served Solomon, one as a court official
and another as a priest, the prophetic movement apparently was little
encouraged by the united monarchy’s third king.

8. Konsolidasi kekuasaan
◦ To secure diplomatic and commercial treaties, Solomon contracted marriage with various
princesses—who brought with them their native deities.
