1 Reyes 14:21 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 14:21

And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah
Over the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, when Jeroboam reigned over the other ten:

Rehoboam [was] forty one years old when he began to reign;
being born one year before his father Solomon began to reign, and so it might have been expected he would have begun his reign more wisely than he did:

and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem;
not half so long as his father and grandfather, being neither so wise nor so good a prince as either of them:

the city which the Lord did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to
put his name there;
to have a temple built for him, and his worship carried on in it; which was an aggravation of the sin of Rehoboam, that he should reign in such a place, and yet be guilty of the crimes he was; the three first years he reigned well, but afterwards forsook the law of the Lord, ( 2 Chronicles 11:17 ) ( 12:1 )

and his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess;
and which is observed again, ( 1 Kings 14:31 ) , she being the instrument of drawing him into idolatry, which it is very probable she practised in the days of Solomon, ( 1 Kings 11:5 1 Kings 11:7 ) .

1 Reyes 14:21 In-Context

19 Los dem谩s hechos de Jeroboam, c贸mo guerre贸 y c贸mo rein贸, he aqu铆, est谩n escritos en el libro de las Cr贸nicas de los reyes de Israel.
20 El tiempo que Jeroboam rein贸 fue veintid贸s a帽os, y durmi贸 con sus padres; y su hijo Nadab rein贸 en su lugar.
21 Y Roboam, hijo de Salom贸n, rein贸 en Jud谩. Roboam ten铆a cuarenta y un a帽os cuando comenz贸 a reinar, y rein贸 diecisiete a帽os en Jerusal茅n, la ciudad que el SE脩OR hab铆a escogido de entre todas las tribus de Israel para poner all铆 su nombre. El nombre de su madre era Naama, amonita.
22 Jud谩 hizo lo malo ante los ojos del SE脩OR, y le provocaron a celos m谩s que todo lo que sus padres le hab铆an provocado con los pecados que hab铆an hecho.
23 Porque ellos tambi茅n edificaron para s铆 lugares altos, pilares sagrados y Aseras en toda colina alta y bajo todo 谩rbol frondoso.
