11:22 And Rehoboam made {g} Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, [to be] ruler among his brethren: for [he thought] to make him king.
(g) Called also Abijam, who reigned three years, 1Ki 15:2.
11:22 Ruler - He declared him his successor, and gave him the dominion over, his brethren.
11:13-23 When the priests and Levites came to Jerusalem, the devout, pious Israelites followed them. Such as set their hearts to seek the Lord God of Israel, left the inheritance of their fathers, and went to Jerusalem, that they might have free access to the altar of God, and be out of the temptation to worship the calves. That is best for us, which is best for our souls; in all our choices, religious advantages must be sought before all outward conveniences. Where God's faithful priests are, his faithful people should be. And when it has been proved that we are willing to renounce our worldly interests, so far as we are called to do so for the sake of Christ and his gospel, we have good evidence that we are truly his disciples. And it is the interest of a nation to protect religion and religious people.
