Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king. See also: 1 Kings 4:1Joshua 24:1Matthew 1:7When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon), Jeroboam returned out of Egypt. See also: 1 Kings 11:401 Kings 11:261 Kings 11:28They sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying, See also: 1 Kings 12:3“Your father made our yoke grievous. Now therefore make the grievous service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.” See also: 1 Kings 12:41 Kings 9:221 John 5:3He said to them, “Come again to me after three days.” So the people departed. See also: 1 Kings 12:5Proverbs 3:28King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me about how to answer these people?” See also: Job 32:72 Samuel 16:20Job 12:12-13They spoke to him, saying, “If you are kind to these people, please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.” See also: Proverbs 15:11 Kings 12:7Genesis 49:21But he abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him. See also: 2 Samuel 17:14Proverbs 1:25Proverbs 19:20He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may give an answer to these people, who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter’?” See also: 2 Samuel 17:5-62 Chronicles 10:61 Kings 22:6-8The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you shall tell the people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter on us;’ thus you shall say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist. See also: 1 Kings 12:10-11Proverbs 21:30Isaiah 19:11-13Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’” See also: Jeremiah 28:13-14Exodus 1:13-14Revelation 9:5So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, “Come to me again the third day.” See also: 2 Chronicles 10:51 Kings 12:12-15The king answered them roughly; and King Rehoboam abandoned the counsel of the old men, See also: 1 Samuel 25:10-11Genesis 42:30Exodus 10:28and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.” See also: Proverbs 12:5Daniel 6:7James 3:14So the king didn’t listen to the people; for it was brought about by God, that the LORD might establish his word, which he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. See also: 1 Kings 11:29-391 Samuel 2:252 Chronicles 25:16-20When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion do we have in David? We don’t have an inheritance in the son of Jesse! Every man to your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So all Israel departed to their tents. See also: 2 Samuel 20:12 Chronicles 10:19Revelation 22:16But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. See also: 1 Kings 11:361 Kings 12:172 Chronicles 11:1Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam hurried to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. See also: 1 Kings 5:141 Kings 4:6Acts 7:57-58So Israel rebelled against David’s house to this day. See also: 2 Chronicles 10:16Ezra 9:7Joshua 4:9

Notes · Haydock (1859, public domain)4 notes
Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).
