Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Kings 12:1

1 Kings 12:1. Rehoboam went to Shechem With a view to be there declared Solomon’s successor by the people, and made king. It does not appear that he called the people thither, but went thither because they had prevented him, and pitched upon that place rather than upon Jerusalem, because it was most convenient for all, being in the centre of the kingdom; and because, as it was in the potent tribe of Ephraim, they supposed they might there more securely propose their grievances, which they... read more

Click image for full-size version12:1-16:28 EARLY DAYS OF THE DIVIDED KINGDOMRevolt against Rehoboam (12:1-24)From the time of the judges there had been tension between Judah and the northern tribes, particularly Ephraim. Rehoboam apparently knew of the possibility that the northern tribes would break away from him, and therefore he arranged for a special coronation ceremony in Shechem, one of the more important northern cities (12:1).Jeroboam decided immediately that he would test Rehoboam’s... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - 1 Kings 12:1

Shechem. A national sanctuary (Joshua 24:1 ). Now Nablous, corruption of Neapolis, the (New town) of Vespasian. The site of Abraham's first altar. Jacob's first home. Here the tribes met. Here Joseph was buried. All this before Jebus became Jerusalem. Hence the envy of Ephraim for Judah (Isaiah 11:13 ). Degraded by new name, Sychar = drunkenness (Isaiah 28:1-7 ). Yet here alone in all the world is the Paschal lamb still slain. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Kings 12:1

THE KINGDOM OF ISRAEL DIVIDED"The history of the divided kingdom has three phases: (1) From Jeroboam to Omri in the north and from Rehoboam to Asa in the south - a time of mutual hostility. (2) Under Ahab, Ahaziah, and Joram in Israel, and Jehoshaphat, Joram, and Ahaziah in the south - a time of friendship due to marital alliances. (3) From Jehu of Israel and Joash of Judah to the fall of Samaria (722 B.C.) - another period of hostility."[1] The mutual jealousy and mistrust between Israel and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Kings 12:1

1 Kings 12:1. Rehoboam went to Shechem— Shechem stood not only in the centre of the kingdom of Israel, but in the middle of the tribe of Ephraim, wherein was the greater number of mal-contents. It was, therefore, very probably, by the management of Jeroboam, or some of his friends who durst not, perhaps, venture themselves at Jerusalem, that this city was made choice of as a place of general convention; because they might more securely propose their grievances, which they were resolved to do,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 12:1

1. Rehoboam went to Shechem—He was the oldest, and perhaps the only son of Solomon, and had been, doubtless, designated by his father heir to the throne, as Solomon had been by David. The incident here related took place after the funeral obsequies of the late king and the period for public mourning had past. When all Israel came to make him king, it was not to exercise their old right of election ( :-), for, after God's promise of the perpetual sovereignty to David's posterity, their duty was... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Kings 12:1-5

Rehoboam’s dilemma 12:1-5It is not clear why the northern tribes had invited Rehoboam to the northern town of Shechem. They may have done so for a coronation over Israel separate from his coronation over Judah. [Note: Jacob Myers, II Chronicles, p. 65; Bright, p. 210.] On the other hand, the northern tribes may have invited him to go there for his coronation over the entire nation. Jerusalem was the natural coronation site. Perhaps Rehoboam chose to hold the ceremony at Shechem to accommodate,... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 12:1-33

The Revolt of the Ten Tribes. Rehoboam and JeroboamThe revolt of the Ten Tribes against the rule of Rehoboam had its origin partly in the discontent which the burdens laid on the people by Solomon had created and which Jeroboam (who knew of it, see 1 Kings 11:28) had perhaps stimulated, and partly in the jealousy subsisting between the northern tribes and Judah, which had manifested itself previously in the separate kingdoms of Ish-bosheth and David, and the insurrections that disturbed David’s... read more
