Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Kings 2:37

37 For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron ▪ thou shalt know for certain, that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.

A Brook nigh unto Ierusalem, of which see 2 Sam. 15. 23. 2 King. 23. 4. Which he particularly names, because that was the way to Bahurim, his former and settled Habitation: but this is not to be understood exclusively to other ways and places; for the restraint was general, that he should not go forth thence any whither, ver. 36. to wit, as far any other way as Cedron was; which also appears from the following History; for when he went to Gath, he went not over Cedron, (which lay Eastward from the City) but Westward, as Gath lay.

The blame and guilt of thy Blood shall lie upon thy self onely.
