Bible Verse Review

pipes: or, flutes, Daniel 3:5
rejoiced: 1 Samuel 11:15, 2 Kings 11:14, 2 Kings 11:20, 1 Chronicles 12:38-40, Psalms 97:1, Zechariah 9:9, Luke 19:37, Revelation 11:15-18
the earth rent: We use a similar expression in precisely the same sense: "They rent the air with their cries.
Reciprocal: 1 Kings 1:45 - the city 1 Chronicles 12:40 - there was joy 2 Chronicles 23:13 - all the people Ezra 3:13 - and the noise Psalms 45:7 - hath Ecclesiastes 4:16 - no end Matthew 11:17 - piped
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And all the people came up after him,.... 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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Piped with pipes - Some prefer “danced with dances” - a meaning which the Hebrew would give by a change in the pointing, and the alteration of one letter. But the change is unnecessary. (Flutepipes were known to the Israelites 1 Samuel 10:5; they were very ancient in Egypt, and were known also to the Assyrians.
The earth rent - If the present Hebrew text is correct we have here a strong instance of Oriental hyperbole. But it is suspected that there is a slight corruption, and that the verb really used meant “resounded.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 1:40. 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.
