Contextual Overview

¹ Rehoboam went to Shechem, where all the Israelites had gone to make him king. ² Jeroboam son of Nebat was still in Egypt, where he had gone to escape from Solomon. When Jeroboam heard about Rehoboam being made king, he was living in Egypt. ³ After the people sent for him, he and the people went to Rehoboam and said to him, ⁴ "Your father forced us to work very hard. Now, make it easier for us, and don't make us work as hard as he did. Then we will serve you." ⁵ Rehoboam answered, "Go away for three days, and then come back to me." So the people left. ⁶ King Rehoboam asked the elders who had advised Solomon during his lifetime, "How do you think I should answer these people?" ⁷ They said, "You should be like a servant to them today. If you serve them and give them a kind answer, they will serve you always." ⁸ But Rehoboam rejected this advice. Instead, he asked the young men who had grown up with him and who served as his advisers. ⁹ Rehoboam asked them, "What is your advice? How should we answer these people who said, ‘Don't make us work as hard as your father did'?" ¹⁰ The young men who had grown up with him answered, "Those people said to you, ‘Your father forced us to work very hard. Now make our work easier.' You should tell them, ‘My little finger is bigger than my father's legs.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

That they sent and called him,.... That is, the people of Israel, some of the principal of them, especially of the tribe of Ephraim, sent messengers to him, and gave him an invitation to come to them at Shechem; or, they had sent e, as Kimchi interprets it, which was the reason of his returning from Egypt, at least one of them:
