3. 以色列人就打發人去——更恰當地說「因為他們曾打發人去」等語。這話被陳述為耶羅波安從埃及回來的原因。

7. 你若恩待這民，使他們喜悅，對他們說好話——《列王紀》
〔1Ki 12:7〕 作「你若作這民的僕人，服事他們」。二者意義相同，即：你若肯作些合理的讓步，糾正他們的冤屈，恢復他們被剝奪的自由，便可確保他們對你本人與政權的堅定而持久的擁戴。

7. If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them--In the Book of Kings
[1Ki 12:7],
the words are, "If thou wilt be a servant unto this people, and wilt serve them." The meaning in both is the same, namely, If thou wilt make some reasonable concessions, redress their grievances, and restore their abridged liberties, thou wilt secure their strong and lasting attachment to thy person and government.

15-17. 王不依從百姓，因為這事乃出於上帝——羅波安聽從惡謀，希伯來百姓發動革命，都是按自己的意志與情慾作自由人而行。但上帝容許北方的叛離，是作為對大衛家因所羅門背道之刑罰。這事證明了祂對列國革命之直接護理的掌管；因此它提供了一個與聖經中許多其他顯著實例相似的例子——早已發出的神聖預言，藉著人類情慾的運作、在事態的自然發展中得以成就。

15-17. the king hearkened not unto the people, for the cause was of God--Rehoboam, in following an evil counsel, and the Hebrew people, in making a revolutionary movement, each acted as free agents, obeying their own will and passions. But God, who permitted the revolt of the northern tribes, intended it as a punishment of the house of David for Solomon's apostasy. That event demonstrates the immediate superintendence of His providence over the revolutions of kingdoms; and thus it affords an instance, similar to many other striking instances that are found in Scripture, of divine predictions, uttered long before, being accomplished by the operation of human passions, and in the natural course of events.
2Ch 10:1-15.
羅波安拒絕老人的善謀。
1. 羅波安往示劍去——（參
1Ki 12:1）。 本章除少數字句改動外，與
1Ki 12:1-19 相同。
