Scorpions; thorns, or scourges armed with hooks. (Columellaiii. 10.) — Roboam had not sense to despise the foolish advice of the young men. (Tirinus)

Will of God: not that the king should act foolishly, or the people rebel, but to effect what he had promised.

(Du Hamel)

2 Chronicles 10:16

People. Hebrew, “and when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying: What portion have we in David?” (Protestants) — Dwellings. Many ancient Latin manuscripts here insert 3 Kings xii. 20. (Lyranus, &c.) (Calmet)
