Context

The Kingdom Divided

¹⁸Then King Rehoboam sent out Adoram, who was in charge of the forced labor, but all Israel stoned him to death. And King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste and escaped to Jerusalem.¹⁹So to this day Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David.

Summary

This verse describes the aftermath of the division of the kingdom of Israel after King Solomon's reign. The ten northern tribes rebelled against King Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, and established their own kingdom under Jeroboam. Despite Rehoboam's initial intention to reunite the kingdom through war, he was instructed by the Lord not to fight against his own people. This division fulfilled the prophecy given to Solomon due to his disobedience, leading to the fulfillment of God's plan for the nation of Israel.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, From Shechem, which was forty miles (n) from Jerusalem: he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon; which not only shows courage reassumed by Rehoboam, now safely home, but the hearty attachment of Judah and Benjamin to him, who raised presently so numerous an army in his favour; and had it not been that the Lord was against their going to battle with Israel, in all probability they might have gained their point, Jeroboam being scarcely settled in his kingdom, and having no forces raised.
