2 Chronicles 13:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 13:6

Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son
of David, is risen up
Notwithstanding it was well known the kingdom was entailed on the posterity of David by an everlasting covenant; Abijah calls Jeroboam Solomon's servant, by way of great contempt, as Jarchi observes, he being the general receiver of his tax in the tribe of Ephraim, ( 1 Kings 11:28 )

and hath rebelled against his lord;
his rightful king and sovereign; the charge is no less than high treason.

2 Chronicles 13:6 In-Context

4 Then Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim in the mountains of Ephraim. He called out, "Jeroboam and all Israel, listen to me!
5 Don't you know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom of Israel to David and his descendants forever in a permanent promise?
6 But Jeroboam (Nebat's son) rebelled against his master. He had been the servant of David's son Solomon.
7 Worthless, good-for-nothing men gathered around him. They opposed Rehoboam, son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was too young and inexperienced to challenge them.
8 Do you now intend to challenge the LORD's kingdom, which has been placed in the hands of David's descendants? You are a large crowd, and you have the gold calves that Jeroboam made to be your gods.
