Ten tribes revolting, kill Hadoram, and make Rehoboam flee So the king did not listen to the people This phrase highlights King Rehoboam's failure to heed the counsel of his subjects. The Hebrew root for "listen" is "שָׁמַע" (shama), which implies not just hearing but understanding and obeying. In the historical context, Rehoboam's refusal to listen reflects a critical moment of leadership failure. The people of Israel sought relief from heavy burdens, and his decision not to listen led to the division of the kingdom. This serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of wise and compassionate leadership. for this turn of events was from God to fulfill the word that the LORD had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah the Shilonite That the Lord might perform his word.--The chronicler does not deviate from the text of Kings here, although he has not mentioned Ahijah's prophecy to Jeroboam before. (Comp. 2Chronicles 9:29. ) Verse 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 was. Everything must fall out as God foretells it shall fall out, not because "the cause is from him" in this sense that he has made it, but in the sense that he has pronounced it, through knowing it with an absolute knowledge. It were but a thing to be expected also, that just in the measure that the Bible is the Word of God, it shall exhibit and pronounce plainly the phenomena of his own ultimate fiats, rather than linger to track or describe the uncertainties of human morality or conduct. Let but that result appear, which God has with his sure and abiding Word declared, and the practical attitude and language of Scripture are that it is vain to fight against it; for the thing is of God. It was known of him and said of him. And it carries its punishment or its recompense in it, as of him. It will be noticed, again, how our compiler refers to the incident of Ahijah, as though he had recorded it, which he had not done.Parallel Commentaries ...
