1 Rois 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 Rois 12:25 In-Context

23 Parle à Roboam, fils de Salomon, roi de Juda, et à toute la maison de Juda et de Benjamin, et au reste du peuple. Et dis-leur:
24 Ainsi parle l'Eternel: Ne montez point, et ne faites pas la guerre à vos frères, les enfants d'Israël! Que chacun de vous retourne dans sa maison, car c'est de par moi que cette chose est arrivée. Ils obéirent à la parole de l'Eternel, et ils s'en retournèrent, selon la parole de l'Eternel.
25 Jéroboam bâtit Sichem sur la montagne d'Ephraïm, et il y demeura; puis il en sortit, et bâtit Penuel.
26 Jéroboam dit en son coeur: Le royaume pourrait bien maintenant retourner à la maison de David.
27 Si ce peuple monte à Jérusalem pour faire des sacrifices dans la maison de l'Eternel, le coeur de ce peuple retournera à son seigneur, à Roboam, roi de Juda, et ils me tueront et retourneront à Roboam, roi de Juda.
