The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 11:12

Having Judah and Benjamin on his side . The mention of both tribes just serves to point for us the fact that Benjamin's existence and value were not absolutely ignored, but were for a short while quoted before the kingdom of Rehoboam became called by the name of Judah simply. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 11:13

The priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts . The emphasis thrown into the contents of this verse is evident and agreeable; the ecclesiastical party acted worthily of itself. The priests and Levites could not bring themselves to offer sacrifice and service to the calves, or to forsake Jerusalem and the temple and the true altar. No doubt a stirring, throbbing history underlay the few hut suggestive words which point here the conduct of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 11:13-18

Fidelity to conscience. This migration of priests and people from the other tribes of Israel to Judah and Jerusalem was a serious event in the history of the people of God, and it presents a striking and suggestive spectacle to all time. It is an early illustration of fidelity to conscience. I. THE SEVERITY OF THE STRUGGLE . These servants of Jehovah, priests and people, had to triumph over great obstacles in order to take the step on which they decided. They had: 1 . To... read more

Left their suburbs (so Le 25:34; Numbers 35:1 , Numbers 35:3 , Numbers 35:7 ; Joshua 14:4 ; Joshua 21:12 ). Jeroboam … had east them off. This glimpse reveals to us, with exceeding probability, that there had been some struggle on the solemn matter; we may readily imagine that Jeroboam had either tried it on in vain with the true priests and Levites, or had learned very conclusively beforehand that it would be vain to try it on ( 2 Chronicles 13:9 ). read more

The high places ; i.e. Dan and Bethel ( 1 Kings 12:28-33 ). For the devils ; i.e. for the "hairy ones" ( שְׂעִירִים ). Reference is intended to the idolatrous wore ship of the "he-goats" by the Hebrews, after the example of Egypt, and the reference here is either literal or derived (Le 2 Chronicles 17:7 ). For the calves (see 1 Kings 12:28 ). read more

Strengthened … three years . "Righteousness exalteth a nation, but," etc. ( Proverbs 14:34 ; Isaiah 33:6 ). The sad knell is sounded all too soon; see first verso of next chapter. Three years' strength will soon become weakness, and three years' goodness will save no soul. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 11:18

The 'Speaker's Commentary' opportunely suggests the probability that we may be indebted here to Iddo's "genealogies" ( 2 Chronicles 12:15 ). The word daughter here is a correction of the Keri, the Chethiv having been "son," This Jerimoth is the seventh out of a list of eight men of the same name mentioned in the two books of Chronicles. He is not given as one of the children of David's proper wives in either 1 Chronicles 3:1-8 or 1 Chronicles 14:4-7 ; Jerome says it was the Jewish... read more

Spiritual admixture. After reading the first fourteen verses of the last chapter ( 2 Chronicles 10:1-19 .), we hardly expect to come across the words, concerning Rehoboam, and he dealt wisely ( 2 Chronicles 11:23 ). But this king, though he could certainly be very foolish, was not all folly; like most men, he was a spiritual admixture. We look at— I. THE SINGULAR SPIRITUAL ADMIXTURE WE FIND IN HIM .

A royal polygamist. I. REHOBOAM 'S WIVES . 1 . The number of them. In all eighteen wives and sixty concubines. Solomon had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines ( 1 Kings 11:3 ). David even had more wives and concubines than was good for him ( 2 Samuel 3:2-5 ; 2 Samuel 5:13 ; 2 Samuel 12:8 ). Oriental monarchs generally had well-filled harems. Rameses II . had a hundred and nineteen children (sixty sons and fifty-nine daughters), "which gives... read more
