Celsius and Hiller conjecture that akrabbim denotes a thorny kind of shrub, whose prickles are of a venomous nature, called by the Arabs scorpion thorns, from the exquisite pain which they inflict. But the Chaldee renders it margenin, and the Syriac moragyai, i.e., μαραγναι, scourges; and in the parallel place of Chronicles the Arabic has saut, a scourge. Isidore, and after him Calmet and others, assert that the scorpion was a sort of severe whip, the lashes of which were armed with knots or points that sunk into and tore the flesh.scorpions1 Kings 12:14; Ezekiel 2:6; Revelation 9:3-10Reciprocal2 Chronicles 10:10 - My little finger; Proverbs 13:10 - OnlyVerse 12Come to me again1 Kings 12:5; 2 Chronicles 10:12-14ReciprocalLuke 2:46 - afterVerse 13answered1 Kings 20:6-11; Genesis 42:7, 42:30; Exodus 5:2, 10:28; Judges 12:1-6; 1 Samuel 20:10, 20:30, 20:31; 25:10, 25:11; 2 Samuel 19:43; Proverbs 10:11, 10:32, 15:1, 18:23; Ecclesiastes 10:12; James 3:17roughlyHeb. hardly, Genesis 16:6forsookProverbs 13:20Reciprocal1 Kings 12:7 - speak good; Ecclesiastes 10:6 - FollyVerse 14the counsel2 Chronicles 22:4, 22:5; Esther 1:16-21, 2:2-4; Proverbs 12:5; Isaiah 19:11-13; Daniel 6:7My father made1 Kings 12:10, 12:11; Proverbs 13:10, 16:18, 17:14; Ecclesiastes 7:8; James 3:14-18, 4:1, 4:2Reciprocal2 Samuel 23:5 - Although; Proverbs 26:4 - General; 28:16 - prince; Ecclesiastes 2:19 - who knoweth; 10:6 - FollyVerse 15the causeThe cause of all this confusion and anarchy was Rehoboam's folly, cruelty, and despotic tyranny, and this was certainly not "from the Lord," nor does the original text speak this doctrine. For an elucidation of a similar passage, see note on 2 Samuel 24:1. It says, sibbah, - from savav, to turn, change "the change or Revolution was from the Lord;" which is consistent with all the preceding declarations. God stirred up the people to revolt from a man who had neither skill nor humanity to govern them. God serves his own wise and righteous purpose by the imprudences and iniquities of men, and snares sinners in the work of their own hands. "He maketh the wrath of man to praise him." 1 Kings 12:24, 22:23; Deuteronomy 2:30; Judges 14:4; 2 Chronicles 10:15, 22:7, 25:16, 25:20; Psalm 5:10; Amos 3:6; Acts 2:23, 4:28that he might1 Kings 11:11, 11:29-38; 1 Samuel 15:29; 2 Samuel 17:14; 2 Kings 9:36, 10:10; Isaiah 14:13-17; 46:10, 46:11; Daniel 4:35; John 19:23, 19:24, 19:28, 19:29, 19:32-37; Acts 3:17; 13:27-29ReciprocalJoshua 11:20 - it was; Judges 9:23 - God; 1 Kings 11:14 - the Lord; 11:35 - will give; Job 1:21 - taken away; Hosea 13:11 - GeneralVerse 16What portion2 Samuel 20:1; 2 Chronicles 10:16to your tents1 Kings 22:17, 22:36now see11:13, 11:34, 11:36, 11:39; 2 Samuel 7:15, 7:16; Psalm 2:1-6, 76:10, 89:29-37, 132:17; Isaiah 7:2, 7:6, 7:7, 9:6, 9:7; Jeremiah 23:5, 23:6, 33:15, 33:16, 33:21; Luke 19:14, 19:27So IsraelJudges 8:35; 2 Samuel 15:13, 16:11ReciprocalJoshua 22:25 - ye have; Judges 9:28 - Who is Abimelech; 1 Samuel 4:10 - every man; 22:7 - the son of Jesse; 25:10 - Who is David; 2 Samuel 19:43 - We have; 1 Kings 11:11 - I will surely; Psalm 89:44 - Thou; Proverbs 13:10 - Only; 18:19 - brother; 24:21 - meddle; 26:4 - General; Isaiah 7:17 - the day; Ezekiel 37:16 - For Joseph; Hosea 3:5 - and David their king; 8:4 - set; 13:11 - General; Mark 3:24 - General; Luke 3:32 - was the son of Jesse; Acts 15:16 - build again the tabernacle; Habakkuk 3:1 - See; 2 Peter 2:10 - despiseVerse 17the children1 Kings 11:13, 11:36; 2 Chronicles 10:17, 11:13-17Reciprocal1 Kings 12:20 - none that followed; 2 Chronicles 10:16 - What portion; 12:1 - all IsraelVerse 18Adoram1 Kings 4:6, 5:14, Adoniram, 2 Samuel 20:24; 2 Chronicles 10:18, Hadoramall IsraelExodus 17:4; Numbers 14:10; 2 Chronicles 24:21; Acts 5:26, 7:57, 7:58made speedHeb. strengthened himselfflee to Jerusalem1 Kings 20:18-20; Proverbs 28:1, 28:2; Amos 2:16

These calves were doubtless of the same kind as the calf which was set up by Aaron; and it is remarkable, that in pointing them out to the people he should use the same words that Aaron used on that occasion, when they must have heard what terrible judgments fell upon their forefathers for this idolatry. Solomon's idolatry, however, had prepared the people for Jeroboam's abominations.

These calves were doubtless of the same kind as the calf which was set up by Aaron; and it is remarkable, that in pointing them out to the people he should use the same words that Aaron used on that occasion, when they must have heard what terrible judgments fell upon their forefathers for this idolatry. Solomon's idolatry, however, had prepared the people for Jeroboam's abominations.
