2 Chronicles 10 - Introduction

X.

(iii) HISTORY OF THE KINGS WHO REIGNED IN JERUSALEM, FROM REHOBOAM TO THE EXILE (2 Chronicles 10:1).

(1) The Revolt of the Ten Tribes. The Reign of Rehoboam (2 Chronicles 10-12.).
(a) The Revolt of the Ten Tribes against the Dynasty of David (2 Chronicles 10:1 to 2 Chronicles 11:4). Comp. the parallel narrative in 1 Kings 12:1.

Considered by itself, this section might be pronounced a transcript of 1 Kings 12:1. Such differences as appear in the Hebrew text are mostly unimportant, consisting of merely verbal modifications and omissions not affecting the general sense. (See Intro. §6; and the commentary on the passage in Kings.)
