Commentary on 2 Chronicles 11:23

Theological / Devotional

Dealt wisely. By dispersing his sons throughout Judah, where they no doubt filled positions of responsibility and developed local interests apart from the throne, Rehoboam wisely furthered the interests of his realm.

Desired many wives. A numerous harem was regarded as one of the marks of royalty and wealth. It was nevertheless disapproved of God (Deut. 17:17).
