Adam Clarke's Commentary
Introduction
Rehoboam raises an array, purposing to reduce the ten tribes; but is prevented by Shemaiah the prophet, 2Chr 11:1-4. He builds several cities of defense, and fortifies others, 2Chr 11:5-12. The priests and Levites being turned out by Jeroboam, come to Rehoboam, 2Chr 11:13, 2Chr 11:14. Jeroboam's gross idolatry, 2Chr 11:15. The pious of the land join with Judah, and strengthen the kingdom of Rehoboam, 2Chr 11:16, 2Chr 11:17. His wives, concubines, and numerous issue, 2Chr 11:18-21. He places his own sons for governors in the different provinces, 2Chr 11:22, 2Chr 11:23.
