Verse [2 Chronicles 10:1](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/10/1). ***Rehoboam went to Shechem*** — This chapter is almost word for word the same as [1 Kings 12:1-19](../../../kjv/1-kings/12/1-19), to the notes on which the reader is referred.

Verse [2 Chronicles 10:10](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/10/10). ***By little*****finger*****shall be thicker*** — "My weakness shall be stronger than the might of my father." - *Targum*.

Verse [2 Chronicles 10:15](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/10/15). ***For the cause was of God*** — "For there was an occasion Divinely given." - *Targum*.

Verse [2 Chronicles 10:16](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/10/16). ***To your tents, O Israel*** — "To your cities, O Israel." - *Targum*.
***Now, David, see to thine own house.*** — "Now, David, rule over the men of thy own house." - *Targum*.

Verse [2 Chronicles 10:18](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/10/18). ***Stoned him*** — When he endeavoured to collect the tribute which Solomon had imposed on them. - *Jarchi*.

Verse [2 Chronicles 10:19](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/10/19). ***Israel rebelled*** — A few soft words, and the removal of a part of the oppressive taxes, (for they said, *Ease thou SOMEWHAT* *the grievous servitude*,) would have secured this people to the state, and prevented the shedding of a sea of human blood, which was the consequence of the separation of this kingdom. Rehoboam was a fool; and through his folly he lost his kingdom. He is not the only example on record: the *Stuarts* lost the realm of England much in the same way; and, by a different mode of treatment, the House of Brunswick continues to fill the British throne. May the *thread* of its fortune, woven by the hand of God, never be undone! and may the current of its *power glide on* to the latest posterity!
HORAT. Epist., l. i., c. 2, v. 43.

"Still glides the river, and shall ever glide."
Amen! Amen!
