1 Kings12:19

19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.

Their Revolt is called Rebellion, and therefore was sinful, because it was contrary to God's Authority, and Command of subjection to David, and his Seed for ever; from which the People were not freed by God's Promise and Grant made to Ieroboam, which was but a Secret Transaction, not yet sufficiently Revealed to them, and was not a grant of present and actual Possession; but onely a Promise, That God would give it to him in his own time, and way; which might have been done, though neither Ieroboam, nor the People had used these indirect and evil Courses to bring it about; as it befel David upon the same occasion. Besides, the People did not this in compliance with God's Counsel, but to gratifie their own Passions, and get themselves a little ease.

Marginal references: Or, fell away.
