SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:40
Después subió todo el pueblo en pos de él, y cantaba el pueblo con flautas, y hacían grandes alegrías, que parecía que la tierra se hundía con el clamor de ellos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 1:40
Verse 40. The people piped with pipes] They danced, sang, and played on what instruments of music they possessed. The earth rent] We use a similar expression in precisely the same sense: They rent the air with their cries.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 40. And all the people came up after him , etc.] Following him from the fountain to the city, with their loud acclamations: and the people piped with pipes ; which were hollow instruments, and full of holes which they blew with their mouths, and upon with their fingers; Jarchi says they were and very probably: and rejoiced with great joy ; which they expressed by such loud shouts: so that the earth rent with the sound thereof ; an hyperbolical expression, showing the great numbers gathered together on this occasion, and the sonorous acclamations they made.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 32-53 - The people expressed great joy and satisfaction in the elevation of Solomon. Every true Israelite rejoices in the exaltation of the Son of David. Combinations formed upon evil principles will soon be dissolved when self-interest calls another way. How can those who do evil deed expect to have good tidings? Adonijah had despised Solomon, but soo dreaded him. We see here, as in a glass, Jesus, the Son of David an the Son of God, exalted to the throne of glory, notwithstanding all his enemies. His kingdom is far greater than that of his father David, an therein all the true people of God cordially rejoice. The prosperity of his cause is vexation and terror to his enemies. No horns of the altar nor forms of godliness, nor pretences to religion, can profit those wh will not submit to His authority, and accept of his salvation; and in their submission be hypocritical, they shall perish without remedy __________________________________________________________________
