2 Chron. 11:1–12:16 Rehoboam’s reign shows the themes of judgment and restoration (7:13–14) being acted out in the life of the kingdom.
2 Chron. 11:4 your relatives. Despite their rebellion, the northern tribes did not cease to be part of “all Israel.” they listened to the word of the Lord. See note on 1 Kings 12:24.
2 Chron. 11:5–23 This information comes from a source other than 1–2 Kings. It illustrates the blessings that come to the southern kingdom (Judah) as they obey the word of the Lord (2 Chron. 11:4). Meanwhile, Jeroboam leads the northerners (Israel) into spiritual unfaithfulness.
2 Chron. 11:5–12 The fortified cities covered the eastern, southern, and western approaches to Judah. They were probably intended as a defense against Egypt, which was Jeroboam’s ally. They did not prove effective against Shishak (12:4).
2 Chron. 11:13–17 Jeroboam created a new religion in Bethel and Dan. This cult mixed what God revealed to Moses with other practices. Jeroboam hoped to keep his people from going to sacrifice in Jerusalem. He feared they would support Judah’s king if they went there to worship (1 Kings 12:26–33).
2 Chron. 11:17 Rehoboam’s and Judah’s commitment to faithful worship and obedience to God’s law lasted only three years (see 12:1).
2 Chron. 11:18–23 The growth of Rehoboam’s family is a sign of God’s blessing on him. These details must refer to the whole of his 17-year reign, and not just the three-year period of faithfulness to God’s law.
