The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 10:7-8

Rehoboam was now ( 1 Kings 14:21 ; 2 Chronicles 12:13 ; but cf. 2 Chronicles 13:7 ) forty-one years of age; he was just too old to find any excuse for inability to gauge either the experience, and value of it, of the "old," or the inexperience, and foolishness of it, of the immature human heart. According to the modern phrase, he was just ripe to have known and bethought himself of this. But all rashly Rehoboam casts the die. The sound judgment, real knowledge, opportune and practical... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 10:10-11

Language perhaps never spoke more clearly what was in man. And it spoke in this ease the mad infatuation of insolent temerity itself. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 10:12

It may be worth observing that the history is silent of what of hope and fear or other thought and feeling transpired with Jeroboam and his party these three critical days of suspense, as also it was so silent as to what transpired with them during the three days, three weeks, three months, before the first interview with Rehoboam at Shechem. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 10:13

Roughly; i.e. Rehoboam had not "heard the instruction of a father," and had been an ill pupil indeed of him who wrote and taught, "A soft answer tumeth away wrath" ( Proverbs 15:1 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 10:15

So the king hearkened not … for the cause was of God … his word, which he spake by … Ahijah (see, as before, 1 Kings 11:29-31 , also 9-39). Rehoboam hearkened not, as Pharaoh hearkened not, but hardened his heart. The Divine word foretold, as the Divine mind foreknew, the inevitable course of the stream, that took its source in and from Solomon's faithless heart and life. Solomon "being dead yet" bears his full share of the responsibility of what Rehoboam was, and shortly came to show he... read more

A.M. 3029. B.C. 975. The people request Rehoboam to ease their grievances, 2 Chronicles 10:1-5 . Rehoboam, rejecting the old men’s counsel, by the advice of the young men, answers them roughly, 2 Chronicles 10:6-15 . Ten tribes revolt, 2 Chronicles 10:16-19 . NOTES ON CHAPTER 10. 2 Chronicles 10:1. Rehoboam, went to Shechem, &c. See 1 Kings 12:0., where this chapter is explained, so that little need be added here. 2 Chronicles 10:3. And they sent and called him Or rather, as... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 10:1-19

10:1-36:23 THE KINGS OF JUDAHDivision and its consequences (10:1-13:22)The Chronicler records the division of the kingdom (10:1-11:4; see notes on 1 Kings 12:1-24), but omits the statement in 1 Kings 12:20 that Jeroboam was made king of the northern tribes. He does not even mention Jeroboam’s reign (1 Kings 12:25-14:20). He considers that because the northerners broke away from the dynasty of David and from the true worship of God, they had no right to be called a kingdom, and certainly not the... read more
