Gill's Notes on the Bible
Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon,.... Not in a vision, as before, but by a prophet; the Jews say n, Ahijah the Shilonite, which is probable, see 1 Kings 11:29
forasmuch as this is done of thee, that thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes which I have commanded thee; but broke them by his idolatry:
I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and I will give it to thy servant; meaning Jeroboam, who was not only a subject, but in office under him, 1 Kings 11:26.
