Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on 1 Kings 11:26-40.


1 Kings 11:29

_ _ clad — rather, “wrapped up.” The meaning is, “Ahijah, the Shilonite, the prophet, went and took a fit station in the way; and, in order that he might not be known, he wrapped himself up, so as closely to conceal himself, in a new garment, a surtout, which he afterwards tore in twelve pieces.” Notwithstanding this privacy, the story, and the prediction connected with it [1 Kings 11:30-39], probably reached the king’s ears; and Jeroboam became a marked man [1 Kings 11:40]. His aspiring ambition, impatient for the death of Solomon, led him to form plots and conspiracies, in consequence of which he was compelled to flee to Egypt. Though chosen of God, he would not wait the course of God’s providence, and therefore incurred the penalty of death by his criminal rebellion. The heavy exactions and compulsory labor (1 Kings 11:28) which Solomon latterly imposed upon his subjects, when his foreign resources began to fail, had prepared the greater part of the kingdom for a revolt under so popular a demagogue as Jeroboam.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Kings 11:29

Went — Probably to execute his charge. Were alone — Having gone aside for private conference; for otherwise it is most likely that he had servants attending him, who, though they hear not the words, yet might see the action, and the rending of Jeroboam's coat; and thus it came to Solomon's ears, who being so wise, could easily understand the thing by what he heard of the action, especially when a prophet did it.
