Verse 19<\/span>. Israel rebelled<\/B><\/I>] A few soft words, and the removal of a part of the oppressive taxes, (for they said, Ease thou SOMEWHAT<\/I> the grievous servitude<\/I>,) would have secured this people to the state, and prevented the shedding of a sea of human blood, which was the consequence of the separation of this kingdom. Rehoboam was a fool; and through his folly he lost his kingdom. He is not the only example on record: the Stuarts<\/I> lost the realm of England much in the same way; and, by a different mode of treatment, the House of Brunswick continues to fill the British throne. May the thread<\/I> of its fortune, woven by the hand of God, never be undone! and may the current of its power glide on<\/I> to the latest posterity! <\/P> Talia secla, suis dixerunt<\/I>, currite, fusis<\/I><\/P> Concordes<\/I> stabili fatorum numine Parcae.<\/P> VIRG. Ecl. iv., ver. 46.<\/P> <\/P> “God’s firm decree, by which this web<\/I> was spun,<\/I><\/P> Shall ever bless the clue<\/I>, and bid it smoothly<\/I> run.”<\/P> <\/P> Labitur, et labetur in omne volubilis AEvum.<\/I><\/P> HORAT. Epist., l. i., c. 2, v. 43.<\/P> <\/P> “Still glides the river, and shall ever glide.”<\/P> Amen! Amen! <\/P> <\/p>\n [See comments on 1Ki 12:19]<\/span>.<\/p>\n (19) Unto this day<\/strong>.Neither the compiler of Kings nor the chronicler saw fit to alter a phrase which no longer applied to the political circumstances of their own day. (Comp. 1Ch. 4:41<\/span>; 1Ch. 4:43<\/span>; 1Ch. 5:26<\/span>.)<\/p>\n REFLECTIONS<\/p>\n<\/p>\n IF in perusing the page of Rehoboam’s folly we stand amazed to see the blindness and infatuation of such conduct; how much more may we be astonished at the folly and infatuation of sinners in rejecting the counsel of God against their own souls, and preferring the pleasures of sin for a season. Oh! ye simple ones (is the language of wisdom in the streets of the city) how long will ye love simplicity, and scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge! Surely the sinner that slights Jesus and his salvation is simple to the utmost possibility of simplicity. He hath no true knowledge to guide him. He prefers the hollow and empty husks of the world to durable riches and righteousness. The sinful pleasures of the earth are to him preferable to Jesus and his grace and glory. Could a man make a mock at sin, if he were not a fool? Could he sport with that which must end in ruin if he were not blind, and ignorant, and senseless, and stupid? Precious Jesus! thou that art wisdom itself. Oh! give us to see, to know, to appreciate rightly thy value, and to be thoroughly convinced of this, that Happy is the man that findeth thee; for thy merchandise is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain of thee more than fine gold.<\/p>\n 2Ch 10:19 And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.<\/p>\n Ver. 19. And Israel rebelled.<\/strong> ] Their making Jeroboam king is added; 1Ki 12:20 but this historian meddleth not with that usurper or his successors, unless it be by the by, as 2Ch 11:1-4<\/p>\n Israel: 2Ch 10:16, 2Ch 13:5-7, 1Ki 12:19, 1Ki 12:20, 2Ki 17:21-23, Psa 89:30 <\/p>\n unto this day: 2Ch 5:9, Jos 4:9, Ezr 9:7 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Jos 22:15 – General 2Ch 13:6 – rebelled Psa 89:45 – The Eze 37:16 – For Joseph<\/p>\n And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
