Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Kings 12:27

27 If these people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their LORD , even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.

Which in it self might seem a prudent conjecture; for this would give Rehoboam, and the Priests, and Levites, the sure and faithful friends of David's House, many opportunities of alienating their minds from him, and of reducing them to their former Allegiance. But considering God's Providence, by which the hearts of all Men, and the affairs of all Kings and Kingdoms are governed, and of which he had lately seen so eminent an Instance; it was a foolish, as well as wicked course.
