{1 Kings 12:15} Wherefore the king 4428 hearkened 8085 z8804 not x3808 unto x413 the people; 5971 for x3588 the cause 5438 was x1961 from x4480 x5973 the LORD, 3068 that x4616 he might perform 6965 z8687 x853 his saying, 1697 which x834 the LORD 3068 spake 1696 z8765 by 3027 Ahijah 281 the Shilonite 7888 unto x413 Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat. 5028
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. For an elucidation of a similar passage, see note on "And againª° the angerª of the LORDª was kindledª° against Israel,ª and he movedª°¹ Davidª against them to say,ª° Go,²°¹ numberª°¹ Israelª and Judah.ª" {2Sm 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." "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª Ye shall not¹ go up,ª° nor¹ fightª° against¹ your brethrenª the childrenª of Israel:ª returnª° every manª to his house;ª for¹ this¹ thingª isª° from¹¹ me. They hearkenedª° therefore¹ to the wordª of the LORD,ª and returnedª° to depart,²°¹ according to the wordª of the LORD.ª" {1Kg 12:24} + "Now¹ therefore, behold,¹ the LORDª hath putª° a lyingª spiritª in the mouthª of all¹ these¹ thy prophets,ª and the LORDª hath spokenª° evilª concerning¹ thee." {1Kg 22:23} + "But Sihonª kingª of Heshbonª wouldª° not¹ let us passª° by him: for¹ the LORDª thy Godª hardenedª°¹ his spirit,ª and made his heart² obstinate,ª°¹¹ that¹ he might deliverª° him into thy hand,ª as [appeareth] this¹ day.ª" {Deu 2:30} + "But his fatherª and his motherª knewª° not¹ that¹ it¹ [was] of the LORD,ª¹ that¹ he¹ soughtª° an occasionª against the Philistines:ª¹ for at that¹ timeª the Philistinesª had dominionª° over Israel.ª" {Jdg 14:4} + "So the kingª hearkenedª° not¹ unto¹ the people:ª for¹ the causeª was¹ of¹¹ God,ª that¹ the LORDª might performª°¹ his word,ª which¹ he spakeª° by the handª of Ahijahª the Shiloniteª to¹ Jeroboamª the sonª of Nebat.ª" {2Ch 10:15} + "And the destructionª of Ahaziahª was¹ of Godª¹ by comingª° to¹ Joram:ª for when he was come,ª° he went outª° with¹ Jehoramª against¹ Jehuª the sonª of Nimshi,ª whom¹ the LORDª had anointedª° to cut offª°¹ the houseª of Ahab.ª" {2Ch 22:7} + "And it came to pass,¹ as he talkedª° with¹ him, that [the king] saidª° unto him, Art thou madeª° of the king'sª counsel?ª° forbear;ª° why¹ shouldest thou be smitten?ª° Then the prophetª forbare,ª° and said,ª° I knowª° that¹ Godª hath determinedª° to destroyª° thee, because¹ thou hast doneª° this,¹ and hast not¹ hearkenedª° unto my counsel.ª" {2Ch 25:16} + "But Amaziahª would not¹ hear;ª° for¹ it¹ [came] of God,ª¹ that¹ he might deliverª° them into the handª [of their enemies], because¹ they sought²° after¹¹ the godsª of Edom.ª" {2Ch 25:20} + "Destroyª° thou them, O God;ª let them fallª° by their own counsels;ª¹ cast them outª° in the multitudeª of their transgressions;ª for¹ they have rebelledª° against thee." {Psa 5:10} + "Shall a trumpetª be blownª° in the city,ª and the peopleª not¹ be afraid?ª° shall there be¹ evilª in a city,ª and the LORDª hath not¹ doneª° [it]?" {Ams 3:6} + "Him,ª being deliveredª by the¹ determinateª° counselª andª foreknowledgeª of God,ª ye have taken,ª° and byª wickedª handsª have crucifiedª° and slain:ª°" {Act 2:23} + "For to doª° whatsoeverª thyª handª andª thyª counselª determined beforeª° to be done.ª°" {Act 4:28}
that he might:
"Wherefore the LORDª saidª° unto Solomon,ª Forasmuch¹ as¹ this¹ is¹ done of¹ thee, and thou hast not¹ keptª° my covenantª and my statutes,ª which¹ I have commandedª°¹ thee, I will surely²° rendª°¹ the kingdomª from¹¹ thee, and will giveª° it to thy servant.ª" {1Kg 11:11} + "And it came to pass¹ at that¹ timeª when Jeroboamª went outª° of Jerusalem,ª¹ that the prophetª Ahijahª the Shiloniteª foundª° him in the way;ª and he¹ had clad²° himself¹ with a newª garment;ª and they twoª [were] alone¹ in the field:ª ... And it shall be,¹ if¹ thou wilt hearken²° unto¹¹ all¹ that¹ I commandª° thee, and wilt walkª° in my ways,ª and doª° [that is] rightª in my sight,ª to keepª° my statutesª and my commandments,ª as¹ Davidª my servantª did;ª° that I will be¹ with¹ thee, and buildª° thee a sureª° house,ª as¹ I builtª° for David,ª and will giveª°¹ Israelª unto thee." {1Kg 11:29-38} + "And also¹ the Strengthª of Israelª will not¹ lieª° nor¹ repent:ª° for¹ he [is] not¹ a man,ª that he¹ should repent.ª°" {1Sm 15:29} + "And Absalomª and all¹ the menª of Israelª said,ª° The counselª of Hushaiª the Architeª [is] betterª than the counselª¹ of Ahithophel.ª For the LORDª had appointedª° to defeatª°¹ the goodª counselª of Ahithophel,ª to the intentª that the LORDª might bringª° evilª upon¹ Absalom.ª" {2Sm 17:14} + "Wherefore they came again,ª° and toldª° him. And he said,ª° This¹ [is] the wordª of the LORD,ª which¹ he spakeª° byª his servantª Elijahª the Tishbite,ª saying,ª° In the portionª of Jezreelª shall dogsª eatª°¹ the fleshª of Jezebel:ª" {2Kg 9:36} + "Knowª° nowª that¹ there shall fallª° unto the earthª nothing¹ of the wordª¹ of the LORD,ª which¹ the LORDª spakeª° concerning¹ the houseª of Ahab:ª for the LORDª hath doneª°¹ [that] which¹ he spakeª° byª his servantª Elijah.ª" {2Kg 10:10} + "For thou¹ hast saidª° in thine heart,ª I will ascendª° into heaven,ª I will exaltª° my throneª aboveª¹ the starsª of God:ª I will sitª° also upon the mountª of the congregation,ª in the sidesª of the north:ª ... [That] madeª° the worldª as a wilderness,ª and destroyedª° the citiesª thereof; [that] openedª° not¹ the houseª of his prisoners?ª" {Isa 14:13-17} + "Declaringª° the endª from the beginning,ª¹ and from ancient timesª¹ [the things] that¹ are not¹ [yet] done,ª° saying,ª° My counselª shall stand,ª° and I will doª° all¹ my pleasure:ª ... Callingª° a ravenous birdª from the east,ª¹ the manª that executeth my counselª from a farª country:ª¹ yea,¹ I have spokenª° [it], I will also¹ bring²° it to pass;¹ I have purposedª° [it], I will also¹ doª° it." {Isa 46:10-11} + "And allª the inhabitantsª° of the earthª [are] reputedª° as nothing:ª and he doethª° according to his willª° in the armyª of heaven,ª and [among] the inhabitantsª° of the earth:ª and noneª canª stayª° his hand,ª or sayª° unto him, Whatª doestª° thou?" {Dan 4:35} + "Thenª the¹ soldiers,ª whenª they had crucifiedª° Jesus,ª tookª° hisª garments,ª andª madeª° fourª parts,ª to everyª soldierª a part;ª and¹ also² [his] coat:ª nowª the¹ coatª wasª° without seam,ª wovenª fromª the¹ topª throughout.ªª ... They saidª° thereforeª amongª themselves,ª Let us²° notª rendª° it,ª butª cast lotsª° forª it,ª whoseª it shall be:ª° thatª the¹ scriptureª might be fulfilled,ª° which² saith,ª° They partedª° myª raimentª among them,ª andª forª myª vestureª they did castª° lots.ª These thingsª² thereforeª¹ the¹ soldiersª did.ª°" {Jhn 19:23-24} + "Afterª this,ª Jesusª knowingª° thatª all thingsª were²° nowª accomplished,ª° thatª the¹ scriptureª might be fulfilled,ª° saith,ª° I thirst.ª° ...
