2 Cronache 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 Cronache 12:1 In-Context

1 ORA quando il regno di Roboamo fu stabilito e fortificato, egli, insieme con tutto Israele, lasciò la Legge del Signore.

2 Laonde l’anno quinto del re Roboamo, Sisac, re di Egitto, salì contro a Gerusalemme perciocchè essi aveano misfatto contro al Signore,

3 con mille dugento carri, e con sessantamila cavalieri, e popolo senza fine, ch’era venuto con lui di Egitto, Libii, Succhei, ed Etiopi;

4 e prese le città forti di Giuda, e venne fino in Gerusalemme.

5 Allora il profeta Semaia venne a Roboamo, ed a’ capi di Giuda, i quali si erano raccolti in Gerusalemme, d’innanzi a Sisac, e disse loro: Così ha detto il Signore: Voi mi avete abbandonato, ed io altresì vi ho abbandonati in mano di Sisac.
