12:1 Were come - Rehoboam did not call them thither, but wentthither, because the Israelites prevented him, and had pitched uponthat place, rather than upon Jerusalem, because it was most convenientfor all, being in the center of the kingdom; and because that being in thepotent tribe of Ephraim, they supposed there they might use that freedomof speech, which they resolved to use, to get there grievances redressed.So out of a thousand wives and concubines, he had but one son to bear hisname, and he a fool! Is not sin an ill way of building up a family?
