Contextual Overview

1When Rehoboam had established his sovereignty and royal power, he abandoned the law of the Lord—he and all Israel with him. 1 It happened, when the kingdom of Rechav`am was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Yisra'el with him. 1 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the Lord , and all Israel with him. 1 When the rule of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned the law of the Lord , and all Israel with him. 1 After Rehoboam's kingdom was set up and he became strong, he and the people of Judah stopped obeying the teachings of the Lord . 1 After Rehoboam's rule was established and solidified, he and all Israel rejected the law of the Lord . 1When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and strong, he and all Israel with him abandoned the law of the LORD. 1 When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and strong, he and all Israel with him abandoned the Law of the LORD. 1 It happened, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of Yahweh, and all Israel with him. 1 And when Rehoboam had established the kingdome and made it strong, hee forsooke the Lawe of the Lord, and all Israel with him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam,.... The same as in

2 Chronicles 11:2, there called the man of God:

and to the princes of Judah that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak; through fear of him, and for safety and protection from him, and to consult what was to be done at this critical juncture, whether to fight him, or make peace with him on the best terms they could:

and said unto them, thus saith the Lord, ye have forsaken me; his law, his word, worship, and ordinances, 2 Chronicles 12:1,

and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak; suffered him to invade their land, take their fenced cities, and come up to Jerusalem without any opposition, as a punishment of their apostasy; and to explain this providence to them, and call them to repentance, was the prophet sent.
