This chapter gives us a more full account of the reign of Rehoboam than
|
|
we had before in Kings and it is a very melancholy account. Methinks we
|
|
are in the book of Judges again; for,
|
|
|
|
I. Rehoboam and his people did evil in the sight of the Lord,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:1">ver. 1</A>.
|
|
|
|
II. God thereupon sold them into the hands of Shishak, king of Egypt,
|
|
who greatly oppressed them,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:2-4">ver. 2-4</A>.
|
|
|
|
III. God sent a prophet to them, to expound to them the judgment and to
|
|
call them to repentance,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:5">ver. 5</A>.
|
|
|
|
IV. They thereupon humbled themselves,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:6">ver. 6</A>.
|
|
|
|
V. God, upon their repentance, turned from his anger
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:7,12">ver. 7, 12</A>)
|
|
|
|
and yet left them under the marks of his displeasure,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:8-11">ver. 8-11</A>.
|
|
|
|
Lastly, Here is a general character of Rehoboam and his reign, with the
|
|
conclusion of it,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:13-16">ver. 13-16</A>.</P>

<P>
|
|
<FONT SIZE=+1>1 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the
|
|
kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the
|
|
L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT>, and all Israel with him.
|
|
2 And it came to pass, <I>that</I> in the fifth year of king
|
|
Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because
|
|
they had transgressed against the L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT>,
|
|
3 With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand
|
|
horsemen: and the people <I>were</I> without number that came with him
|
|
out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.
|
|
4 And he took the fenced cities which <I>pertained</I> to Judah, and
|
|
came to Jerusalem.
|
|
5 Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and <I>to</I> the
|
|
princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem
|
|
because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT>, Ye
|
|
have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand
|
|
of Shishak.
|
|
6 Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled
|
|
themselves; and they said, The L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT> <I>is</I> righteous.
|
|
7 And when the L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT> saw that they humbled themselves, the word
|
|
of the L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT> came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled
|
|
themselves; <I>therefore</I> I will not destroy them, but I will grant
|
|
them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon
|
|
Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
|
|
8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know
|
|
my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
|
|
9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took
|
|
away the treasures of the house of the L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT>, and the treasures of
|
|
the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields
|
|
of gold which Solomon had made.
|
|
10 Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and
|
|
committed <I>them</I> to the hands of the chief of the guard, that
|
|
kept the entrance of the king's house.
|
|
11 And when the king entered into the house of the L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT>, the
|
|
guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the
|
|
guard chamber.
|
|
12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT> turned
|
|
from him, that he would not destroy <I>him</I> altogether: and also in
|
|
Judah things went well.
|
|
</FONT></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Israel was very much disgraced and weakened by being divided into two
|
|
kingdoms; yet the kingdom of Judah, having both the temple and the
|
|
royal city, both the house of David and the house of Aaron, might have
|
|
done very well if they had continued in the way of their duty; but here
|
|
we have all out of order there.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
I. Rehoboam and his people left God: He <I>forsook the law of the
|
|
Lord,</I> and so in effect forsook God, and <I>all Israel with him,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:1"><I>v.</I> 1</A>.
|
|
|
|
He had his happy triennium, when he walked in the way of David and
|
|
Solomon
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+11:17"><I>ch.</I> xi. 17</A>),
|
|
|
|
but it expired, and he grew remiss in the worship of God; in what
|
|
instances we are not told, but he fell off, and Judah with him, here
|
|
called <I>Israel,</I> because they walked in the evil ways into which
|
|
Jeroboam had drawn the kingdom of Israel. Thus he did <I>when he had
|
|
established the kingdom and strengthened himself.</I> As long as he
|
|
thought his throne tottered he kept to his duty, that he might make God
|
|
his friend; but, when he found it stood pretty firmly, he thought he
|
|
had no more occasion for religion; he was safe enough without it. Thus
|
|
<I>the prosperity of fools destroys them. Jeshurun waxed fat and
|
|
kicked.</I> When men prosper, and are in no apprehension of troubles,
|
|
they are ready to say to God, <I>Depart from us.</I></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
II. God quickly brought troubles upon them, to awaken them, and recover
|
|
them to repentance, before their hearts were hardened. It was but in
|
|
the fourth year of Rehoboam that they began to corrupt themselves, and
|
|
in the fifth year the king of Egypt came up against them with a vast
|
|
army, took <I>the fenced cities of Judah, and came against
|
|
Jerusalem,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:2,3,4"><I>v.</I> 2, 3, 4</A>.
|
|
|
|
This great calamity coming upon them so soon after they began to desert
|
|
the worship of God, by a hand they had little reason to suspect (having
|
|
had a great deal of friendly correspondence with Egypt in the last
|
|
reign), and coming with so much violence that all the <I>fenced cities
|
|
of Judah,</I> which Rehoboam had lately fortified and garrisoned and on
|
|
which he relied much for the safety of his kingdom, fell immediately
|
|
into the hands of the enemy, without making any resistance, plainly
|
|
showed that it was from the Lord, because they had transgressed against
|
|
him.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
III. Lest they should not readily or not rightly understand the meaning
|
|
of this providence, God by the word explains the rod,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:5"><I>v.</I> 5</A>.
|
|
|
|
When the princes of Judah had all met at Jerusalem, probably in a great
|
|
council of war, to concert measures for their own safety in this
|
|
critical juncture, he sent a prophet to them, the same that had brought
|
|
them an injunction from God not to fight against the ten tribes
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+11:2"><I>ch.</I> xi. 2</A>),
|
|
|
|
Shemaiah by name; he told them plainly that the reason why Shishak
|
|
prevailed against them was not because they had been impolitic in the
|
|
management of their affairs (which perhaps the princes in this congress
|
|
were at this time scrutinizing), but because they had forsaken God. God
|
|
never leaves any till they first leave him.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
IV. The rebukes both of the word and of the rod being thus joined, the
|
|
king and princes humbled themselves before God for their iniquity,
|
|
penitently acknowledged the sin, and patiently accepted the punishment
|
|
of it, saying, <I>The Lord is righteous,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:6"><I>v.</I> 6</A>.
|
|
|
|
"We have none to blame but ourselves; let God be clear when he
|
|
judgeth." Thus it becomes us, when we are under the rebukes of
|
|
Providence, to justify God and judge ourselves. Even kings and princes
|
|
must either bend or break before God, either be humbled or be
|
|
ruined.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
V. Upon the profession they made of repentance God showed them some
|
|
favour, saved them from ruin, and yet left them under some remaining
|
|
fears of the judgment, to prevent their revolt again.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
1. God, in mercy, prevented the destruction they were now upon the
|
|
brink of. Such a vast and now victorious army as Shishak had, having
|
|
made themselves masters of all the fenced cities, what could be
|
|
expected but that the whole country, and even Jerusalem itself, would
|
|
in a little time be theirs? But when God saith, <I>Here shall the proud
|
|
waves be stayed,</I> the most threatening force strangely dwindles and
|
|
becomes impotent. Here again the destroying angel, when he comes to
|
|
Jerusalem, is forbidden to destroy it: "<I>My wrath shall not be poured
|
|
out upon Jerusalem;</I> not at this time, not by this hand, not utterly
|
|
to destroy it,"
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:7,12"><I>v.</I> 7, 12</A>.
|
|
|
|
Note, Those that acknowledge God righteous in afflicting them shall
|
|
find him gracious. Those that humble themselves before him shall find
|
|
favour with him. So ready is the God of mercy to take the first
|
|
occasion to show mercy. If we have humbled hearts under humbling
|
|
providences, the affliction has done its work, and it shall either be
|
|
removed or the property of it altered.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
2. He granted them some deliverance, not complete, but in part; he gave
|
|
them some advantages against the enemy, so that they recruited a
|
|
little; he <I>gave them deliverance for a little while,</I> so some.
|
|
They reformed but partially, and for a little while, soon relapsing
|
|
again; and, as their reformation was, so was their deliverance. Yet it
|
|
is said
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:12"><I>v.</I> 12</A>),
|
|
|
|
<I>in Judah things went well,</I> and began to look with a better face.
|
|
|
|
(1.) In respect of piety. <I>There were good things in Judah</I> (so it
|
|
is in the margin), good ministers, good people, good families, who were
|
|
made better by the calamities of their country. Note, In times of
|
|
great corruption and degeneracy it is some comfort if there be a
|
|
remnant among whom good things ar found; this is a ground of hope in
|
|
Israel.
|
|
|
|
(2.) In respect of prosperity. In Judah things went ill when all the
|
|
fenced cities were taken
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:4"><I>v.</I> 4</A>),
|
|
|
|
but when they repented the posture of their affairs altered, and things
|
|
went well. Note, If things do not go so well as we could wish, yet we
|
|
have reason to take notice of it with thankfulness if they go better
|
|
than was to have been expected, better than formerly, and better than
|
|
we deserved. We should own God's goodness if he do but grant us some
|
|
deliverance.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
3. Yet he left them to smart sorely by the hand of Shishak, both in
|
|
their liberty and in their wealth.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
(1.) In their liberty
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:8"><I>v.</I> 8</A>):
|
|
|
|
<I>They shall be his servants</I> (that is, they shall lie much at his
|
|
mercy and be put under contribution by him, and some of them perhaps be
|
|
taken prisoners and held in captivity by him), <I>that they may know my
|
|
service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.</I> They
|
|
complained, it may be, of the strictness of their religion, and
|
|
<I>forsook the law of the Lord</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:1"><I>v.</I> 1</A>)
|
|
|
|
because they thought it a yoke to hard, too heavy, upon them. "Well,"
|
|
saith God, "let them better themselves if they can; let the
|
|
neighbouring princes rule them awhile, since they are not willing that
|
|
I should rule them, and let them try how they like that. They might
|
|
have <I>served God with joyfulness and gladness of heart,</I> and would
|
|
not; let them <I>serve their enemies then in hunger and thirst</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=De+28:47,48">Deut. xxviii. 47, 48</A>),
|
|
|
|
till they think of returning to <I>their first Master, for then it was
|
|
better with them,</I>"
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ho+2:7">Hos. ii. 7</A>.
|
|
|
|
This, some think, is the meaning of
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Eze+20:24,25">Ezek. xx. 24, 25</A>.
|
|
|
|
<I>Because they despised my statutes, I gave them statutes that were
|
|
not good.</I> Note,
|
|
|
|
[1.] The more God's service is compared with other services the more
|
|
reasonable and easy it will appear.
|
|
|
|
[2.] Whatever difficulties or hardships we may imagine there are in the
|
|
way of obedience, it is better a thousand times to go through them than
|
|
to expose ourselves to the punishment of disobedience. Are the laws of
|
|
temperance thought hard? The effects of intemperance will be much
|
|
harder. The service of virtue is perfect liberty; the service of lust
|
|
is perfect slavery.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
(2.) In their wealth. The king of Egypt plundered both the temple and
|
|
the exchequer, the treasuries of both which Solomon left very full; but
|
|
he <I>took them away;</I> yea, he <I>took all,</I> all he could lay his
|
|
hands on,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:9"><I>v.</I> 9</A>.
|
|
|
|
This was what he came for. David and Solomon, who walked in the way of
|
|
God, filled the treasuries, one by war and the other by merchandise;
|
|
but Rehoboam, who forsook the law of God, emptied them. The taking away
|
|
of the golden shields, and the substituting of brazen ones in their
|
|
place
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:9-11"><I>v.</I> 9-11</A>),

<FONT SIZE=+1>13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and
|
|
reigned: for Rehoboam <I>was</I> one and forty years old when he began
|
|
to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city
|
|
which the L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT> had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put
|
|
his name there. And his mother's name <I>was</I> Naamah an Ammonitess.
|
|
14 And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek
|
|
the L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT>.
|
|
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, <I>are</I> they not
|
|
written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer
|
|
concerning genealogies? And <I>there were</I> wars between Rehoboam
|
|
and Jeroboam continually.
|
|
16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the
|
|
city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
|
|
</FONT></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The story of Rehoboam's reign is here concluded, much as the story of
|
|
the other reigns concludes. Two things especially are observable
|
|
here:--
|
|
|
|
1. That he was at length pretty well <I>fixed in his kingdom,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:13"><I>v.</I> 13</A>.
|
|
|
|
His fenced cities in Judah did not answer his expectation, so he now
|
|
<I>strengthened himself in Jerusalem,</I> which he made it his business
|
|
to fortify, and there he reigned seventeen years, in <I>the city which
|
|
the Lord had chosen to put his name there.</I> This intimates his
|
|
honour and privilege, that he had his royal seat in the holy city,
|
|
which yet was but an aggravation of his impiety--near the temple, but
|
|
far from God. Frequent skirmishes there were between his subjects and
|
|
Jeroboam's, such as amounted to <I>continual wars,</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:15"><I>v.</I> 15</A>),
|

but he held his own, and reigned, and, as it should seem, did not so
|
|
grossly <I>forsake the law of God</I> as he had done
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Ch+12:1"><I>v.</I> 1</A>)

in his fourth year.

|
|
2. That he was never rightly fixed in his religion,

He never quite cast off God; and yet in this he did evil, that he
|
|
<I>prepared not, he engaged not, his heart to seek the Lord.</I> See
|
|
what the fault is laid upon.
|
|
|
|
(1.) He did not serve the Lord because he did not seek the Lord. He did
|
|
not pray, as Solomon did, for wisdom and grace. If we prayed better, we
|
|
should be every way better. Or he did not consult the word of God, did
|
|
not seek to that as his oracle, nor take directions from it.
|
|
|
|
(2.) He made nothing of his religion because he did not set his heart
|
|
to it, never minded it with any closeness of application, and never any
|
|
hearty disposition to it, nor ever came up to a steady resolution in
|
|
it. What little goodness he had was transient and passed away like the
|
|
morning cloud. He did evil because he was never determined for that
|
|
which is good. Those are easily drawn by Satan to any evil who are
|
|
wavering and inconstant in that which is good and are never persuaded
|
|
to make religion their business.</P>
