Commentary on 2 Chronicles 10:17

Theological / Devotional

The cities of Judah. In view of the fact that Rehoboam was of the tribe of Judah it would only be natural that under circumstances such as these, where the other tribes rejected his leadership, his own tribe should remain loyal to him. Whether or not Solomon may have spared his own tribe a measure of the heavy taxes and forced labor he levied upon Israel as a whole, is not known. If so, this would have provided them with an additional incentive to support him.
