역대하 10:15 KRV

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 10:1-19

JEROBOAM LEADS A REVOLT (vv.1-18) Rehoboam was inaugurated as king at Shechem. Jereboam who had gone to Egypt for fear of King Solomon, hearing of Solomon's death, returned to Israel. The tribes of Israel had some respect for this capable leader, and asked him to intercede for them to Rehoboam. Thus Jereboam and others with him came to Rehoboam, telling him that Solomon had laid heavy burdens on them and asking him to lighten this severe bondage so that they would willingly serve him... read more

James Gray

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 10:2-15

I have purposely gone through all these verses in one reading before that I offered any Commentary upon them in order to come to this last verse, which explains the whole; the cause was of God. It is of the highest importance in life, amidst all the concerns of it, the smallest, and apparently most inconsiderable, as well as the greatest, and those which carry consequence with them, that we never suffer our minds to lose sight of the Lord's hand. He ordereth all things according to the counsel... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 10:15

Will of God: not that the king should act foolishly, or the people rebel, but to effect what he had promised. (Haydock) --- Syriac has well expressed the sense: "because this rebellion happened by the divine permission, that they might behold the truth of the prediction of Ahias;" (Calmet) and that the fault of Solomon might be punished. (Du Hamel) 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
