Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon,.... Not in a vision, as before, but by a prophet; the Jews say (n), Ahijah the Shilonite, which is probable, see Kg1 11:29 .
forasmuch as this is done of thee, that thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes which I have commanded thee; but broke them by his idolatry: I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and I will give it to thy servant; meaning Jeroboam, who was not only a subject, but in office under him, Kg1 11:26 . (n) Seder Olam Rabba, c. 20. p. 53. Kimchi in loc.
