1 Reis 12:3 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 12:3

That they sent and called him
That is, the people of Israel, some of the principal of them, especially of the tribe of Ephraim, sent messengers to him, and gave him an invitation to come to them at Shechem; or, they had sent ^F5, as Kimchi interprets it, which was the reason of his returning from Egypt, at least one of them:

and Jeroboam, and all the congregation of Israel, came;
the chief men of them, the heads of the people; these, with Jeroboam at the head of them, who was come out of Egypt, came to Shechem, where Rehoboam was, and they had appointed to meet him:

and spake unto Rehoboam;
one in the name of them all, perhaps Jeroboam:

saying;
as follows.

1 Reis 12:3 In-Context

1 Roboão foi a Siquém, onde todos os israelitas tinham se reunido para proclamá-lo rei.

2 Assim que Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, que estava no Egito para onde tinha fugido do rei Salomão, soube disso, voltou de lá.

3 Depois disso mandaram chamá-lo. Então ele e toda a assembleia de Israel foram ao encontro de Roboão e disseram:

4 “Teu pai colocou sobre nós um jugo pesado, mas agora diminui o trabalho árduo e este jugo pesado, e nós te serviremos”.

5 Roboão respondeu: “Voltem a mim daqui a três dias”. Então o povo foi embora.
