Matthew Henry · Verses 1–12
A few good words might have prevented the rebellion of Rehoboam's subjects; but all the force of his kingdom cannot bring them back.

Even those who are destitute of true faith, will at times pay some regard to the word of God, and be kept by it from wrong actions, to which they are prone by nature.
