2 Crônicas 12:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 12:1

And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom,
&c.] Or when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established; the tribes of Judah and Benjamin being firmly attached to him, and great numbers from the other tribes coming over to him, and things going on peaceably and prosperously during the three years that he and his people abode by the pure worship of God:

and had strengthened himself;
built fortified cities for the defence of himself and kingdom, ( 2 Chronicles 11:5-12 ) , he forsook the law of the Lord; after he had reigned three years, and was become strong, and thought himself safe and secure on the throne, trusting to his strength:

and all Israel with him;
the greater part of them following the example of their king; of this defection, and the sins they fell into, see ( 1 Kings 14:22-24 ) .

2 Crônicas 12:1 In-Context

1 E sucedeu que, quando ficou estabelecido o reino de Roboão, e havendo o rei se tornado forte, ele deixou a lei do Senhor, e com ele todo o Israel.

2 Pelo que, no quinto ano da rei Roboão, Sisaque, rei do Egito, subiu contra Jerusalém (porque eles tinham transgredido contra o Senhor)

3 com mil e duzentes carros e sessenta mil cavaleiros; era inumerável a gente que vinha com ele do Egito: líbios, suquitas e etíopes;

4 E tomou as cidades fortificadas de Judá, e chegou até Jerusalém.

5 Então Semaías, o profeta, fei ter com Roboão e com os príncipes de Judá que se tinham ajuntado em Jerusalém por causa de Sisaque, e disse-lhes: Assim diz o Senhor: Vós me deixastes a mim, pelo que eu também vos deixei na mão de Sisaque.
