Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Kings 12:20-24

_ _ 1 Kings 12:20-33. Jeroboam made king over them.

_ _ when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again — This verse closes the parenthetical narrative begun at 1 Kings 12:2, and 1 Kings 12:21-24 resume the history from 1 Kings 12:1. Rehoboam determined to assert his authority by leading a large force into the disaffected provinces. But the revolt of the ten tribes was completed when the prophet Shemaiah ordered, in the Lord’s name, an abandonment of any hostile measures against the revolutionists. The army, overawed by the divine prohibition, dispersed, and the king was obliged to submit.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Kings 12:16-24.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Kings 12:20

Was come — From Egypt; which was known to them before who met at Shechem, and now by all the people. Was none — That is, no entire tribe.
