La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Car Israël fit schisme d'avec la maison de David. Ils établirent roi Jéroboam, fils de Nébat, et Jéroboam détourna Israël de suivre l'Éternel; et il leur fit commettre un grand péché.
Louis Segond (1910)
Car Israël s'était détaché de la maison de David, et ils avaient fait roi Jéroboam, fils de Nebath, qui les avait détournés de l'Eternel, et avait fait commettre à Israël un grand péché.
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Parce qu'Israël s'était retranché de la maison de David, et avait établi Roi Jéroboam fils de Nébat, car Jéroboam avait débauché Israël, afin qu'il ne suivît plus l'Eternel, et leur avait fait commettre un grand péché.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For he rent Israel from the house of David,.... In the times of Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when ten tribes revolted from him, signified by the rending of a garment in twelve pieces, ten of which were given to Jeroboam; and it is here ascribed to the Lord, being according to his purpose and decree, and which was brought about by his providence, agreeably to a prophecy of his, see 1 Kings 11:30

and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king; of themselves, without consulting the Lord and his prophets; and which was resented by him, though it was his will, and he had foretold it, that Jeroboam should be king, see Hosea 8:4

and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the Lord; forbidding them to go up to Jerusalem to worship; the Targum is,

"made them to err:''

and made them sin a great sin; obliging them to worship the calves he set up.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The strong expression “drave Israel” is an allusion to the violent measures whereto Jeroboam had recourse in order to stop the efflux into Judea of the more religious portion of his subjects 2 Chronicles 11:13-16, the calling in of Shishak, and the permanent assumption of a hostile attitude toward the southern kingdom.
