1 Kings 14:30 Summary
[This verse tells us that there was a long and ongoing war between Rehoboam, the king of Judah, and Jeroboam, the king of Israel. This conflict was a result of the division of the kingdom after the death of King Solomon, as seen in 1 Kings 12:1-33. The war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam is a reminder that division and conflict can have lasting consequences, as seen in the Bible's emphasis on the importance of unity and cooperation, such as in Psalm 133:1 and Ephesians 4:3. By prioritizing unity and seeking to be peacemakers, we can work to avoid the kinds of conflicts that plagued the kingdoms of Judah and Israel.]

Gill's Exposition on 1 Kings 14:30
And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Kings 14:30
And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days. There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Kings 14:30
Not an invasive war with potent armies, which was forbidden, , and not revived until Abijam’ s reign, 2 Chronicles 13; but a defensive war from those hostilities which by small parties and skirmishes they did to one another.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Kings 14:30
1 Kings 14:30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all [their] days.Ver. 30. All their days.] Skirmishes there were continually about the borders.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Kings 14:30
(30) There was war . . .—Of such war we have no record, since the day when Shemaiah forbade Rehoboam’s invasion of the new kingdom; nor is there even mention of any action of Israel in aid of the Egyptian attack, although it is likely enough that such action was taken. The meaning may simply be that there was continued enmity, breaking off all peaceful relations; but in the scantiness of the record we can have no certainty that actual war did not take place, though it has found no place in the history.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Kings 14:30
30. all their days] R.V. continually: as the same words are rendered in a very similar passage about Saul and David in A.V. 1 Samuel 18:29.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Kings 14:30
30. War between Rehoboam and Jeroboam — Not merely a feeling of hostility, but frequent wars.
