1 Reyes 12:25 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 12:25

Then Jeroboam built Shechem in Mount Ephraim, and dwelt
therein
Not that this city had lain in ruins from the times of Abimelech, ( Judges 9:45 ) for then it would not have been a proper place for the convention of the people, ( 1 Kings 12:1 ) but he repaired the walls of it, and fortified it, and built a palace in it for his residence:

and went out from thence, and built Penuel;
a place on the other side Jordan, the tower of which was beaten down by Gideon, ( Judges 8:17 ) and might be now rebuilt, or at least the city was repaired by him, and anew fortified, perhaps for the better security of his dominions on that side Jordan; though Fortunatus Scacchus F16 is of opinion that this was an altar, the same as at Carmel, ( 1 Kings 18:30 ) , which Jeroboam built, and called by this name in testimony of the common religion of the Israelites and Jews.

1 Reyes 12:25 In-Context

23 Habla a Roboam, hijo de Salomón, rey de Judá, y a toda la casa de Judá y de Benjamín, y al resto del pueblo, diciéndoles:
24 "Así dice el SEÑOR: 'No subiréis ni pelearéis contra vuestros hermanos los hijos de Israel; vuelva cada uno a su casa, porque de mí ha venido esto.'" Y ellos escucharon la palabra del SEÑOR, y se volvieron para irse conforme a la palabra del SEÑOR.
25 Entonces Jeroboam edificó Siquem en la región montañosa de Efraín, y habitó allí. De allí salió y edificó Penuel.
26 Y Jeroboam se dijo en su corazón: Ahora el reino volverá a la casa de David
27 si este pueblo continúa subiendo a ofrecer sacrificios en la casa del SEÑOR en Jerusalén, porque el corazón de este pueblo se volverá a su señor, es decir a Roboam, rey de Judá, y me matarán y volverán a Roboam, rey de Judá.
