1 Reyes 12:22-24

22 Ahora bien, Dios le dijo a Semaías, hombre de Dios:

23 «Diles a Roboam, hijo de Salomón, rey de Judá, y también a toda la gente de Judá y de Benjamín y a todo el resto del pueblo:

24 “Esto dice el Señor
: ‘No peleen contra sus parientes, los israelitas. ¡Regrese cada uno a su casa, porque lo que ha sucedido es obra mía!’”». Entonces ellos obedecieron el mensaje del Señor
y cada uno volvió a su casa, tal como el Señor
había ordenado.

1 Reyes 12:22-24 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO 1 KINGS 12

This chapter relates Rehoboam's going to Shechem to be made king, and Jeroboam's return from Egypt, 1Ki 12:1,2, the people's request to Rehoboam to be eased of their taxes, as the condition of making him king, 1Ki 12:3,4, his answer to them, after three days, having had the advice both of the old and young men, which latter he followed, and gave in a rough answer, 1Ki 12:5-15, upon which ten tribes revolted from him, and two abode by him, 1Ki 12:16-20, wherefore he meditated a war against the ten tribes, but was forbid by the Lord to engage in it, 1Ki 12:21-24 and Jeroboam, in order to establish his kingdom, and preserve the people from a revolt to the house of David, because of the temple worship at Jerusalem, devised a scheme of idolatrous worship in his own territories, 1Ki 12:25-33.
