6 et surrexit Hieroboam filius Nabath servus Salomonis filii David et rebellavit contra dominum suum

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 stetit igitur Abia super montem Someron qui erat in Ephraim et ait audi Hieroboam et omnis Israhel

5 num ignoratis quod Dominus Deus Israhel dederit regnum David super Israhel in sempiternum ipsi et filiis eius pactum salis

6 et surrexit Hieroboam filius Nabath servus Salomonis filii David et rebellavit contra dominum suum

7 congregatique sunt ad eum viri vanissimi et filii Belial et praevaluerunt contra Roboam filium Salomonis porro Roboam erat rudis et corde pavido nec potuit resistere eis

8 nunc ergo vos dicitis quod resistere possitis regno Domini quod possidet per filios David habetisque grandem populi multitudinem atque vitulos aureos quos fecit vobis Hieroboam in deos
