James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 10:1-19

REHOBOAM AND JEHOSHAPHAT REHOBOAM (2 Chronicles 10-12) The story of the rejected counsel of the older men and what came of it (chap. 10) is practically as in 1 Kings 12:0 , and furnishes an illustration of the relation of divine sovereignty to human free agency. The fortification of Judah’s cities against Israel (chap. 11) was dwelt upon in the earlier books, as well as the return of the priests and Levites to Jerusalem. Rehoboam’s “wise” action (2 Chronicles 11:23 ) is to be taken in the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Chronicles 10:1-19

2 Chronicles 10:0 1. And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem [the chief city of Ephraim, of ancient dignity, even from patriarchal times, as of singular beauty and position] were all Israel come to make him king. 2. And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt. 3. And they sent [ i.e., "they had sent." This is given as the reason why he had returned] and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 10:16-19

If we read this spiritually, and with an eye to Jesus, is not the language of every unawakened man similar to this, We have none inheritance in the son of Jesse. Alas! how was this fulfilled in the instance of the Jews at the crucifixion of Jesus! precious Lord Jesus! how did thy prayer bring down mercy to turn many of them from the error of their ways, when those among them who had been most clamorous, crying out, Crucify, crucify him! at the day of Pentecost, were pricked at the heart, and... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Chronicles 10:12-19

The Revolt of Israel v. 12. So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day. v. 13. And the king answered them roughly, in a violent and haughty manner; and King Rehoboam, headstrong as he was, forsook the counsel of the old men, v. 14. and answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 10:1-19

Despotism is seldom transmissible. That Solomon had been an autocrat and had ruled with a hand of iron under the velvet is evidenced by the words of the men of Israel, "Thy father hath made our yoke grievous." If this is a startling suggestion, history testifies to the likelihood of its correctness. Some of the worst tyrants the world ever had robbed the people of their rights, and kept them passive by the deadly drug of gorgeous displays. So did Lorenzo de Medici in Florence; so did our own... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Chronicles 10:1-19

CRITICAL NOTES.] Here begins the fourth part of the book of Chronicles, extending from the division of the kingdom to the decree of Cyrus, authorising the return of the exiles and confining itself to the affairs of the kingdom of Judah. The present chapter includes the proposal of the people to Rehoboam (2 Chronicles 10:1-5); the counsel given to him (2 Chronicles 10:6-11); and the answer that provokes the revolt (2 Chronicles 10:12-19). This corresponds to 1 Kings 12:1-19 [Murphy].2 Chronicles... read more

Israel "Israel," the ten tribes other than Judah and Benjamin, often called "Israel" in distinction from Judah.
