- 1 Kings 11:43
And Solomon rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David. And his son Rehoboam reigned in his place.
Commentary on 1 Kings 11:432 voices
And Solomon slept with his fathers,.... Died as they did: and was buried in the city of David his father; not in Bethlehem, but Zion, 1Ki 2:10. and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead; of whom more in the following chapter.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Solomon slept with his fathers - He died in almost the flower of his age, and, it appears unregretted. His government was no blessing to Israel; and laid, by its exactions and oppressions, the foundation of that schism which was so fatal to the unhappy people of Israel and Judah, and was the most powerful procuring cause of the miseries which have fallen upon the Jewish people from that time until now. I. It may now be necessary to give a more distinct outline of the character of this king.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- 1 Kings 12:1–15
Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king.
Commentary on 1 Kings 12:1–152 voices
And Rehoboam went to Shechem,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The first step taken by the new king was a most judicious one. If anything could have removed the disaffection of the Ephraimites, and caused them to submit to the ascendancy of Judah, it would have been the honor done to their capital by its selection as the scene of the coronation. Shechem (now Nablous) lay on the flank of Mount Gerizim, directly opposite to Mount Ebal, in a position second to none in all Palestine.

- 1 Kings 12:16–24
When all Israel saw that the king had refused to listen to them, they answered the king: “What portion do we have in David, and what inheritance in the son of Jesse? To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, O David!” So the Israelites went home,
Commentary on 1 Kings 12:16–242 voices
They named David, rather than Rehoboam; to signify, that they renounced not Rehoboam only, but all David's family. Son of Jesse - So they call David in contempt; as if they had said, Rehoboam hath no reason to carry himself with such pride and contempt toward his people; for if we trace his original, it was as mean and obscure as any of ours.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
So Israel departed unto their tents - That is, the ten tribes withdrew their allegiance from Rehoboam; only Judah and Benjamin, frequently reckoned one tribe, remaining with him.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- 1 Kings 14:25–28
In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, Shishak king of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem.
Commentary on 1 Kings 14:25–282 voices
Rehoboam spread and increased the idolatry introduced by Solomon after being instigated in this sin by his Gentile mother Naamah. And this seems to be hinted at in the Scripture which reports Rehoboam's apostasy just after mentioning his impious mother. Many examples that occur in …
Ephrem the Syrian· ON THE FIRST BOOK OF KINGS 14:25, 373Patristic
And it came to pass in the fifth year of King Rehoboam,.... Two years after he and his people fell into the above wicked practices: that Shishak, king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem; of whom see 1Ki 11:40, this was suffered as a chastisement from the Lord for their abominations.

- 1 Kings 14:31
And Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David; his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite. And his son Abijam reigned in his place.
Commentary on 1 Kings 14:312 voices
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David,.... Where David and Solomon were buried, 1Ki 2:10 and his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess; which is repeated, that it might be observed as what was the leading step to his idolatry, and the means of his continuing in it: and Abijam his son reigned in his stead; of whom there is a further account in the following chapter.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Slept with his fathers and was buried ... - Compare 1Ki 11:43. The expression is a sort of formula, and is used with respect to all the kings of Judah, except two or three. The writer probably regards the fact, which he records so carefully, as a continuation of Gods mercy to David. His mothers name ... - The mention of the queen-mother so regularly in the account of the kings of Judah is thought to indicate that she had an important position in the state.

- 1 Chronicles 3:1
These were the sons of David who were born to him in Hebron: The firstborn was Amnon by Ahinoam of Jezreel; the second was Daniel by Abigail of Carmel;
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:12 voices
Now these were the sons of David,.... The six following born in Hebron, who are reckoned in the same order as in 2Sa 3:2, only here the second son is called Daniel, who there goes by the name of Chileab; he had two names, the reason of which see there; and here David's wife, Eglah, is said in the Targum to be Michal, Saul's daughter; see Gill on 2Sa 3:5, to which is added an account of his reign both in Hebron and Jerusalem, agreeably to 2Sa 5:5.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The sons of David - The writer returns to the point at which he had left the posterity of Ram 1Ch 2:9, 1Ch 2:15, and traces out the family of David - the royal house of the tribe of Judah. Daniel - See the marginal note and reference. There are three lists of the sons of David, born in Jerusalem. 2Sa 5:14-16 1Ch 3:5-8 1Ch 14:4-7 1. Shammuah Shimeah* Shammuah 2. Shobab Shobab Shobab 3.

- 2 Chronicles 10:1–15
Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king.
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 10:1–151 voice
Rehoboam went to Shechem - This chapter is almost word for word the same as 1 Kings 12:1-19, to the notes on which the reader is referred.

When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he mobilized the house of Judah and Benjamin—180,000 chosen warriors—to fight against Israel and restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 11:1–41 voice
And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem,.... After he had been at Shechem, and had given his answer to the request of the men of Israel, upon which they revolted from him: this and the three following verses are the same with 1Ki 12:21. See Gill on 1Ki 12:21.

- 2 Chronicles 11:5–23
Rehoboam continued to live in Jerusalem, and he built up cities for defense in Judah.
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 11:5–232 voices
And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem,.... The metropolis of Judah, and the capital city of his kingdom: and built cities for defence in Judah; that is, rebuilt, enlarged, and fortified them; for otherwise they were built before, though neglected before the revolt of the ten tribes; but now it became necessary to make them more capacious and strong, to protect his people, and defend himself against Israel; for though he was forbid to act offensively, and therefore contented himself to abide in Jerusalem, and not go forth to war; yet he might lawfully put himself into a condition of defence.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Rehoboam was between two dangers: on the north he might be attacked by Jeroboam, on the south by Jeroboams ally, Egypt. From this side was the greater peril, and therefore out of the 15 cities fortified, all but three were on the southern or western frontier, where Egypt would be most likely to attack.

- Matthew 1:1
This is the record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:
Commentary on Matthew 1:12 voices
For such alterations would have occasioned endless disputes between them and the disciples of our Lord. The son of David, the son of Abraham - He is so called, because to these he was more peculiarly promised; and of these it was often foretold the Messiah should spring.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
Vigil. Tapsens. (ibid. p. 644): The audaciousness of this most insane error I will curb by the authority of the heavenly testimonies, and demonstrate the distinct personality of the proper substance of the Son. I shall not produce things which are liable to be explained away as agreeable to the assumption of human nature; but shall offer such passages as all will allow to be decisive in proof of His divine nature. In Genesis we find God saying, "Let Us make man in Our own Image."
Athanasius of Alexandria· Commentary (church-history corpus), 373Patristic
- Matthew 1:7
Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa.
Commentary on Matthew 1:72 voices
Solomon was the father of Rehoboam. But just as David is taken to mean stronghanded or fair to behold, so Solomon, peaceful: and this is correct, because from the vigor of good activity arises peace of conscience: "Great peace have those who love thy law" …
Thomas Aquinas· Commentary on Matthew, 1274Patristic
And Solomon begat Roboam,.... Called Rehoboam, 1Ki 11:43 of Naamah an Ammonitess, 1Ki 14:21. And Roboam begat Abia, sometimes called Abijam, as in 1Ki 14:31, sometimes Abijah, 2Ch 12:16 and sometimes, as here, Abia, 1Ch 3:10. Him Rehoboam begat of Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom, 1Ki 15:2 called Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel, 2Ch 13:2. Maachah and Michaiah being the same name; or else she went by two names, as her father did.
