Stoned him - When he endeavored to collect the tribute which Solomon had imposed on them. - Jarchi.

This site's exposition

Rehoboam still reigned over the Israelites

on 2 Chronicles 10:17-19

Chronicles keeps the rebellion of the tribes, the stoning of Hadoram, “who was in charge of the forced labor,” and the king's flight to Jerusalem. The closing line, “to this day Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David,” marks the rupture as still open.

This site's exposition

Rehoboam sent out Hadoram

Clarke, following Jarchi, says Hadoram was stoned while trying to collect the tribute Solomon had imposed. Sending the officer of the forced labor to the angry tribes answered the petition of verse 4 with the thing they had complained of. The king fled in his chariot.

Commentary on Chapter X 4. Grievous - It is probable, when Solomon had declined from God, that God left him to himself to act thus impolitically. If thou be kind, &c. - Moderate counsels are generally best.
