3. 他们打发人——更当译作「因为他们曾打发人」等。这是说明耶罗波安为何从埃及回来的缘故。
英文原文
3. And they sent--rather, "for they had sent," &c. This is stated as the reason of Jeroboam's return from Egypt.

7. 你若恩待这民，使他们喜悦，用好话对他们说——《列王纪》
[1Ki 12:7]
的用语是：「你若服事这民，服事他们。」两处的意思相同，即：你若肯作些合理的让步，纠正他们的冤屈，恢复他们被削减的自由，就能确保他们对你个人和你的政权的强大而持久的归顺。
英文原文
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. 王不听百姓的，因为这事乃出于神——罗波安听从恶谋，希伯来百姓发起革命性的举动，各自都作为自主的人而行，顺从自己的意志和情欲。但神既容许北方各支派反叛，便有意以此作为对大卫家因所罗门背道之罪而受的刑罚。那事件显明神对列国更替之直接治理；因此它提供了一个与圣经中许多其他显著事例相似的例子——很久以前所发的预言，借着人类情欲的运作，并按照事变的自然进程，得到了应验。
英文原文
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.
罗波安拒绝老者的良谋
1. 罗波安往示剑去——（参看
1Ki 12:1
的注释）。
本章除少数字句改动外，与
1Ki 12:1-19
相同。
