Commentary

Go tell Jeroboam,.... Thy husband: thus saith the Lord God of Israel; so he continued to be, though they had revolted from him: forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people; the common people, from a low estate in which he was: and made thee prince over my people Israel; so they were when he made them king over them; and there were some among them still that loved the Lord, served and feared him, of which the prophet himself, now speaking, was an instance.
