Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 12:16

See the marginal reference. The words breathe unmistakeably the spirit of tribal jealousy and dislike (1 Kings 11:40 note).Now see to thine own house, David - i. e., “Henceforth, house of David, look after thine own tribe, Judah, only.” It is not a threat of war, but a warning against interference. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Kings 12:13-15

1 Kings 12:13-15. The king answered the people roughly He affected to be haughty and imperious, and fancied he could carry all before him with a high hand, and therefore would rather run the risk of losing them, than deny himself so far as to give them good words. Thus many ruin themselves by consulting their humour more than their interest. For the cause was from the Lord Who, having determined, in punishment of Solomon’s idolatries and criminal pleasures, to take the greater part of the... read more

1 Kings 12:16. So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, &c. Here we see the divine threatening to Solomon by Ahijah beginning to take effect, and the important event of rending the kingdom of the ten tribes from the house of David, foretold by that prophet, on the point of being fulfilled. The people show themselves bold and resolute in the cause they had undertaken, and highly resent the provocation which Rehoboam had given them, concluding that a government, which... read more

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

What portion. ? Figure of speech Erotesis. App-6 . the son of Jesse. Used in contempt. Compare 1 Samuel 16:18 ; 1 Samuel 20:31 ; 1Sa 22:7 , 1 Samuel 22:8 , 1 Samuel 22:9 ; 1Sa 25:10 . 2 Samuel 20:1 . to your tents. One of the emendations of the Sopherim. App-33 . The primitive text was "to your gods", because the sin here was apostasy from Jehovah's worship in Jerusalem. Two letters transposed made it read "to your tents". See note on 1 Samuel 20:1 , and compare 2 Chronicles 10:16 . read more

NORTHERN ISRAEL REJECTED REHOBOAM AS KING"And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents. But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them."Here in 1 Kings 12:17 is established a permanent separation of the northern Israel... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Kings 12:16

1 Kings 12:16. Now, see to thine own house, David— It is observable to every reader of the History of the Jews, of how ungrateful a disposition this people was; not only to God, but to their best temporal benefactors. Surely no nation ever owed greater obligations to a prince, than the Israelites did to David; yet how soon are all his benefits forgotten, and the people, almost with one accord, revolt from his grandson! read more

15-18. the king hearkened not unto the people, for the cause was from the Lord—That was the overruling cause. Rehoboam's weakness (Ecclesiastes 2:18; Ecclesiastes 2:19) and inexperience in public affairs has given rise to the probable conjecture, that, like many other princes in the East, he had been kept secluded in the harem till the period of his accession (Ecclesiastes 2:19- :), his father being either afraid of his aspiring to the sovereignty, like the two sons of David, or, which is more... read more
