For an elucidation of a similar passage, see note on 2Sam 24:1. It says, sibbah, (from savav, to turn, change), "the change or Revolution was from the Lord;" which is consistent with all the preceding declarations. God stirred up the people to revolt from a man who had neither skill nor humanity to govern them. God serves his own wise and righteous purpose by the imprudences and iniquities of men, and snares sinners in the work of their own hands. "He maketh the wrath of man to praise him." 1Kgs 12:24, 1Kgs 22:23; Deut 2:30; Judg 14:4; 2Chr 10:15, 2Chr 22:7, 2Chr 25:16, 2Chr 25:20; Ps 5:10; Amos 3:6; Acts 2:23, Acts 4:28 that he might 1Kgs 11:11, 1Kgs 11:29-38; 1Sam 15:29; 2Sam 17:14; 2Kgs 9:36, 2Kgs 10:10; Isa 14:13-17; Isa 46:10-11; Dan 4:35; John 19:23-24, John 19:28-29, John 19:32-37; Acts 3:17; Acts 13:27-29 What portion 2Sam 20:1; 2Chr 10:16 to your tents 1Kgs 22:17, 1Kgs 22:36 now see 1Kgs 11:13, 1Kgs 11:34, 1Kgs 11:36, 1Kgs 11:39; 2Sam 7:15-16; Ps 2:1-6, Ps 76:10, Ps 89:29-37, Ps 132:17; Isa 7:2, Isa 7:6-7, Isa 9:6-7; Jer 23:5-6, Jer 33:15-16, Jer 33:21; Luke 19:14, Luke 19:27 So Israel Judg 8:35; 2Sam 15:13, 2Sam 16:11 the children 1Kgs 11:13, 1Kgs 11:36; 2Chr 10:17, 2Chr 11:13-17 Adoram 1Kgs 4:6, 1Kgs 5:14, Adoniram, 2Sam 20:24; 2Chr 10:18, Hadoram all Israel Exod 17:4; Num 14:10; 2Chr 24:21; Acts 5:26, Acts 7:57-58 made speed Heb. strengthened himself flee to Jerusalem 1Kgs 20:18-20; Prov 28:1-2; Amos 2:16 Israel 1Sam 10:19; 2Kgs 17:21; 2Chr 10:19, 2Chr 13:5-7, 2Chr 13:17; Isa 7:17 rebelled or, fell away, Heb 6:6 unto this day Josh 4:9 and made him 1Sam 10:24; Hos 8:4 none that followed 1Kgs 12:17, 1Kgs 11:13, 1Kgs 11:32; Hos 11:12
