1 Kings 12:18 - John Wesley's Notes

1 Kings 12:18

16 Now when all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying:
^a“What share have we in David?
We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse.
To your tents, O Israel!
Now, see to your own house, O David!” So Israel departed to their tents.

17 But Rehoboam reigned over ^athe children of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah.

18 Then King Rehoboam ^asent Adoram, who was in charge of the revenue; but all Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. Therefore King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste to flee to Jerusalem.

19 So ^aIsrael has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.

20 Now it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come back, they sent for him and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all ^aIsrael. There was none who followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah ^bonly.

Sent Adoram - Probably to pursue the counsel which he had resolved upon, to execute his office, and exact their tribute with rigour and violence, if need were.
