Rehoboam made king. The Israelites by Jeroboam request a relaxation, 2 Chronicles 10.1-5.

Rehoboam refusing the old men’s counsel, by the advice of young men, answereth them roughly, 2 Chronicles 10.6-15.

Ten tribes revolting, kill Hadoram, and make Rehoboam to flee, 2 Chronicles 10.16-19.

Verse 1

The contents of this chapter are in 1 Kings 12, where see the notes.

And they sent; or, for (as that particle is oft used, as hath been noted before) they had sent, etc. So this is the reason why he returned, as was said, 2 Chronicles 10.2.
