Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up,.... Notwithstanding it was well known the kingdom was entailed on the posterity of David by an everlasting covenant; Abijah calls Jeroboam Solomon's servant, by way of great contempt, as Jarchi observes, he being the general receiver of his tax in the tribe of Ephraim, 1Ki 11:28. and hath rebelled against his lord; his rightful king and sovereign; the charge is no less than high treason.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

For, (1.) Whatever he was otherwise, it should seem that he was no idolator, or, if he connived at the high places and images ( ch. xiv. 3, 5 ), yet he constantly kept up the temple-service. (2.) Whatever corruptions there were in the kingdom of Judah, the state of religion among them was better than in the kingdom of Israel, with which they were now contending.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

Abijah stood up upon Mount Zemaraim--He had entered the enemy's territory and was encamped on an eminence near Beth-el (Jos 18:22). Jeroboam's army lay at the foot of the hill, and as a pitched battle was expected, Abijah, according to the singular usage of ancient times, harangued the enemy.
