1. The Israelites, assembled at Shechem to crown Rehoboam,

6. Rehoboam, refusing the old mens' counsel, answers them roughly,
16. Ten tribes revolting, kill Hadoram, and make Rehoboam flee














(16) And when all Israel saw.--Now all Israel had seen. Kings: "And all Israel saw." The chronicler makes a new start. (The word "saw" is wanting in very many Hebrew MSS., and in LXX., Vulg., and Targ., and some Hebrew editions.)

Answered.--Returned the king--scil., a word, which Kings supplies.

Every man to your tents, O Israel.--Literally, A man ('ish) to thy tents, &c. The word "man" is probably spurious, being due to a repetition of the letters of the preceding proper name Jesse (Heb., Yishai or Ishai). Kings, LXX., Vulg. are without it, but Syriac has it.

See to thine own house--i.e., govern Judah, thine own tribe. Vulg., "pasce domum tuam."

Verse 16. - What portion have we in David? (see 2 Samuel 20:1). To your tents, O Israel; i.e. there is nothing more to be done here; all may as well go home. The use, and especially repeated use, of the names, David, Jesse, David, plainly speaks tribe rivalry, if not jealousy.
