This is what Bathsheba meant when she said, \"My son Solomon and I will be counted offenders,\" that is, \"If my son is not appointed as king, it will be believed that we are excluded from the kingdom, because we have sinned in this affair of the adultery, and consequently we will be condemned to contempt and cursing as impure persons for the rest of our lives.\"<br/><i>— BOOKS OF SESSIONS 1 Kings 1:30</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"6786cb53d1534902622ae370c275fe6024622b2a040eb5e09b72f361f6615965","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":572,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"e5c72d7e0c1bd29b44d3f25161046925dfba3b40ba64a96f83fbef3b0f553a43","translator":null,"work":null}
