1 Kings 12:15-17
the cause.The cause of all this confusion and anarchy was Rehoboam's folly, cruelty, and despotic tyranny, and this was certainly not "from the Lord," nor does the original text speak this doctrine. See an elucidation of a similar passage at 2 Sa 24:1. It says, {sibbah,} (from {savav,} to turn, change,) "the change or Revolution was from the Lord;" which is consistent with all the preceding declarations. God stirred up the people to revolt from a man who had neither skill nor humanity to govern them. God serves his own wise and righteous purpose by the imprudences and iniquities of men, and snares sinners in the work of their own hands. "He maketh the wrath of man to praise him." 24; 22:23; De 2:30; Jud 14:4; 2Ch 10:15; 22:7; 25:16,20; Ps 5:10Am 3:6; Ac 2:23; 4:28that he might.11:11,29-38; 1Sa 15:29; 2Sa 17:14; 2Ki 9:36; 10:10; Isa 14:13-17Isa 46:10,11; Da 4:35; Joh 19:23,24,28,29,32-37; Ac 3:17Ac 13:27-29 What portion.2Sa 20:1; 2Ch 10:16to your tents.22:17,36now see.11:13,34,36,39; 2Sa 7:15,16; Ps 2:1-6; 76:10; 89:29-37; 132:17Isa 7:2,6,7; 9:6,7; Jer 23:5,6; 33:15,16,21; Lu 19:14,27So Israel.Jud 8:35; 2Sa 15:13; 16:11 the children.11:13,36; 2Ch 10:17; 11:13-171 Kings 12:20
