1 Re 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.

23 Di’ a Roboamo, figliuolo di Salomone, re di Giuda, ed a tutta la casa di Giuda, e di Beniamino, ed al rimanente del popolo:
24 Così ha detto il Signore: Non salite, e non combattete co’ figliuoli d’Israele, vostri fratelli; ritornatevene ciascuno a casa sua; perciocchè questa cosa è proceduta da me. Ed essi ubbidirono alla parola del Signore, e si volsero indietro, e se ne andarono, secondo il comandamento del Signore.
25 OR Geroboamo edificò Sichem, nel monte di Efraim, e vi dimorò; poi uscì di là, ed edificò Penuel.
26 E Geroboamo disse tra sè stesso: Ora ben potrebbe ritornare il regno alla casa di Davide.
27 Se questo popolo sale, per far sacrificii nella Casa del Signore, in Gerusalemme, il cuor suo si rivolgerĂ  a Roboamo, re di Giuda, suo signore, e mi uccideranno, e ritorneranno a Roboamo, re di Giuda.
