Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Chronicles 10:13

Solomon had put down Israelite discontent by driving Jeroboam into exile in Egypt, and David had put down somewhat easily the movement under Sheba son of Bichri (2Sa 20:1-22). Could the good fortune of the House of David fail at this third crisis?
