Commentary
5 notes on this verseSo Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day. In which the writer of this book lived, and so continued until their captivity by the king of Assyria. Their revolt is called a rebellion; for though it was according to the purpose and will of God, yet the people had no command or order from God for it, and was done without consulting him, and was a rejection of their lawful prince.

dwelt in the cities of Judah
on 1 Kings 12:17-19
Judah's own Israelites stay under Rehoboam, the tribe the Lord had reserved for David's house at 11:13 and 11:32 taking visible shape as the chapter closes its first half. Rehoboam then compounds the crisis by sending Adoram, the very officer over forced labor, to a population that has just named forced labor its whole complaint, and the people stone him. The narrator's closing sentence, so Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day, is written from later in the story, a standing wound the writer says is still open in his own time.

Rehoboam was imprudent in the further management of this affair, and more and more infatuated. Having foolishly thrown himself into a quick-sand, he sunk the further in with plunging to get out. He was very unadvised in sending Adoram, who was over the tribute, to treat with them,

Unto this day - This expression shows that the writer, who lived during the captivity, and consequently long after the rebellion of Israel had come to an end, is embodying in his history the exact words of an ancient document. His source, whatever it was, appears to have been also followed by the writer of Chronicles. (See 2Ch 10:19.)
