SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:17
Mas reinó Roboam sobre los hijos de Israel que moraban en las ciudades de Judá.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah , etc.] Either such Israelites of the ten tribes that had before dwelt, or now upon this removed, for the sake of worship, to dwell in the tribe of Judah; or else that part of Israel, the tribe of Judah, which dwelt in the cities belonging to it: Rehoboam reigned over them ; they owned him to be their king, and submitted to his government.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 16-24 - The people speak unbecomingly of David. How soon are good men, an their good services to the public, forgotten ! These consideration should reconcile us to our losses and troubles, that God is the Autho of them, and our brethren the instruments: let us not meditate revenge Rehoboam and his people hearkened to the word of the Lord. When we know God's mind, we must submit, how much soever it crosses our own mind. I we secure the favour of God, not all the universe can hurt us.
