1 Kings - 11:30 Meaning
“And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces:”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
11:26-40 In telling the reason why God rent the kingdom from the house of Solomon, Ahijah warned Jeroboam to take heed of sinning away his preferment. Yet the house of David must be supported; out of it the Messiah would arise. Solomon sought to kill his successor. Had not he taught others, that whatever devices are in men's hearts, the counsel of the Lord shall stand? Yet he himself thinks to defeat that counsel. Jeroboam withdrew into Egypt, and was content to live in exile and obscurity for awhile, being sure of a kingdom at last. Shall not we be content, who have a better kingdom in reserve?
“What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.”
