4Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.

“10:1 Shechem was in the heart of the territory of the northern tribes; the need for Rehoboam to go there for confirmation reflects either weak national unity or the comparative strength and influence of the northern tribes. • Rehoboam reigned from 931 to 913 BC.”

“This event is narrated in our chapter, except in so far as a few unessential differences in form are concerned, exactly as we have it in 1 Kings 12:1-19; so that we may refer for the exposition of it to the commentary on 1 Kings 12, where we have both treated the contents of this chapter, and have also discussed the deeper and more latent causes of this event, so important in its consequences. Next: 2 Chronicles Chapter 11”
