Rehoboam Succeeds Solomon. . 1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king. 2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt. 3 And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying, 4 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee. 5 And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed. 6 And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people? 7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever. 8 But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him. 9 And he said unto them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us? 10 And the young men that were brought up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins. 11 For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. We may observe here, 1. The wisest and best cannot give every body content. Solomon enriched and advanced his kingdom, did all (one would think) that could be done to make then happy and easy; and yet either he was indiscreet in burdening them with the imposition of taxes and services, or at least there was some colour of reason to think him so. No man is perfectly wise. It is probable that it was when Solomon had declined from God and his duty that his wisdom failed him, and God left him to himself to act in this impolitic manner. Even Solomon's treasures were exhausted by his love of women; and probably it was to maintain them, and their pride, luxury, and idolatry, that he burdened his subjects. 2. Turbulent and ungrateful spirits will find fault with the government, and complain of grievances, when they have very little reason to do so. Had they not peace in Solomon's time? They were never plundered by invaders, as formerly, never put in fear by the alarms of war, nor obliged to hazard their lives in the high places of the field. Had they not plenty--meat enough, and money enough? What would they more? O fortunatos nimium, sua si bona norint! -- O happy, if they knew their happy state! And yet they complain that Solomon made their yoke grievous. If any complain thus of the yoke of Christ, that they might have a pretence to break his bands in sunder and cast away his cords from them, we are sure that he never gave them any cause at all for the complaint, whatever Solomon did. His yoke is easy, and his burden is light. He never made us serve with an offering, nor wearied us with incense. 3. Many ruin themselves and their interests by trampling upon and provoking their inferiors. Rehoboam thought that because he was king he might assume as much authority as his father had done, might have what he would, and do what he would, and carry all before him. But, though he wore his father's crown, he wanted his father's brains, and ought to have considered that, being quite a different man from what his father was, he ought to take other measures. Such a wise man as Solomon may do as we will, but such a fool as Rehoboam must do as he can. The high-mettled horse may be kicked and spurred by him that has the art of managing him; but, if an unskilful horseman do it, it is at his peril. Rehoboam paid dearly for threatening, and talking big, and thinking to carry matters with a high hand. It was Job's wisdom, as well as his virtue, that he despised not the cause of his man-servant or maid-servant, when they argued with him ( Job 31:13 ), but heard them patiently, considered their reasons, and gave them a soft answer. And a similar tender consideration of those in subjection, and a forwardness to make them easy, will be the comfort and praise of all in authority, in the church, in the state, and in families. 4. Moderate counsels are generally wisest and best. Gentleness will do what violence will not do. Most people love to be accosted mildly. Rehoboam's old experienced counsellors directed him to this method ( 2 Chronicles 10:7 ; 2 Chronicles 10:7 ): " Be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, and thou art sure of them for ever." Good words cost nothing but a little self-denial, and yet they purchase good things. 5. God often fulfils the counsels of his own wisdom by infatuating men, and giving them up to the counsels of their own folly. No more needs to be done to ruin men than to leave them to themselves, and their own pride and passion. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-12-19" class="com-number"

**르호보암이 솔로몬의 뒤를 잇다.** 1 르호보암이 세겜으로 갔으니, 온 이스라엘이 그를 왕으로 삼으러 세겜에 왔기 때문입니다. 2 느밧의 아들 여로보암이 솔로몬 왕의 낯을 피해 이집트로 도망가서 이집트에 있다가, 이 소식을 듣고 이집트에서 돌아왔습니다. 3 사람들이 그를 불렀고, 여로보암과 온 이스라엘이 와서 르호보암에게 말했습니다. 4 "당신의 아버지가 우리의 멍에를 무겁게 하였으니, 이제 당신의 아버지가 우리에게 지운 고된 노역과 무거운 멍에를 가볍게 해 주십시오. 그러면 우리가 당신을 섬기겠습니다." 5 그가 그들에게 말했습니다. "사흘 후에 다시 나에게 오라." 그러자 백성이 물러갔습니다. 6 르호보암 왕은 그의 아버지 솔로몬이 살아 있을 때 솔로몬 앞에 섰던 원로들과 의논했습니다. "이 백성에게 어떻게 대답하면 좋겠소?" 7 그들이 그에게 말했습니다. "왕께서 이 백성을 친절히 대하시고, 그들을 기쁘게 하시며, 좋은 말씀을 하신다면, 그들이 영원히 왕의 종이 될 것입니다." 8 그러나 그는 원로들이 준 조언을 버리고, 자기와 함께 자라며 그 앞에 서 있는 젊은이들과 의논했습니다. 9 그가 그들에게 말했습니다. "당신 아버지가 우리 멍에를 무겁게 하셨으니 당신은 좀 가볍게 해 달라고 말한 이 백성에게 어떻게 대답하면 좋겠소?" 10 그와 함께 자란 젊은이들이 그에게 말했습니다. "당신 아버지가 우리의 멍에를 무겁게 하셨으니 조금 가볍게 해 달라고 말한 이 백성에게 이렇게 말씀하십시오. '내 새끼손가락이 내 아버지의 허리보다 굵을 것이요, 11 내 아버지가 너희에게 무거운 멍에를 지웠으나 나는 거기에 더 더하리라. 내 아버지는 채찍으로 너희를 징계했지만 나는 전갈 채찍으로 징계하리라.'"

여기서 우리는 몇 가지 교훈을 관찰할 수 있다.

1. **가장 지혜롭고 훌륭한 사람도 모든 사람을 만족시킬 수는 없다.** 솔로몬은 나라를 부유하게 하고 왕국을 높였으며, 백성들을 행복하고 편안하게 하기 위해 할 수 있는 모든 일을 다 한 것처럼 보였다. 그런데도 그가 세금과 부역을 부과하는 데 있어 분별력이 없었거나, 아니면 최소한 그렇게 볼 만한 명분이 있었다. 어떤 사람도 완전히 지혜로울 수 없다. 솔로몬이 하나님과 그 도리에서 떠났을 때, 그의 지혜도 쇠하여 하나님께서 그를 스스로 행동하게 내버려 두셨을 가능성이 높다. 솔로몬의 보화도 여인들에 대한 사랑 때문에 탕진되었으며, 아마 그 여인들과 그들의 교만, 사치, 우상숭배를 유지하기 위해 백성에게 무거운 짐을 지웠을 것이다.

2. **소란스럽고 배은망덕한 자들은 별다른 이유도 없이 정부를 비난하고 억울함을 호소한다.** 솔로몬 시대에 그들이 평화를 누리지 않았던가? 이전처럼 침략자들에게 약탈당하지도 않았고, 전쟁의 공포에 떨지도 않았으며, 전쟁터에서 목숨을 걸 필요도 없었다. 풍요가 있지 않았던가? 먹을 것도 넉넉하고 돈도 충분하지 않았던가? 무엇이 더 필요한가? "O fortunatos nimium, sua si bona norint!"—행복을 알았더라면 참으로 복된 자들이었을 것을! 그런데도 그들은 솔로몬이 멍에를 무겁게 했다고 불평한다. 그리스도의 멍에를 이처럼 무겁다고 불평하며 그 줄을 끊고 고삐를 벗어 버리려는 자들이 있다면, 솔로몬의 경우는 그랬다 해도 그리스도는 전혀 그런 이유를 주신 적이 없다. 그의 멍에는 쉽고 그의 짐은 가볍다. 그는 우리에게 예물로 섬기게 하신 적도 없고 향으로 피곤케 하신 적도 없다.

3. **많은 사람이 아랫사람을 짓밟고 자극함으로써 자신과 자신의 이익을 망친다.** 르호보암은 자신이 왕이므로 아버지처럼 무엇이든 요구하고 하고 싶은 대로 하며 모든 것을 뜻대로 할 수 있다고 생각했다. 그러나 그는 아버지의 왕관은 물려받았으나 아버지의 지혜는 없었고, 자기가 아버지와는 전혀 다른 사람임을 알아야 했다. 솔로몬처럼 지혜로운 사람은 뜻대로 할 수 있지만, 르호보암처럼 어리석은 사람은 할 수 있는 것만 해야 한다. 기질이 강한 말은 다루는 기술이 있는 사람이 채찍질하고 박차를 가할 수 있지만, 미숙한 기수가 그렇게 하면 위험을 자초한다. 르호보암은 협박하고 큰소리치며 강압으로 일을 처리하려 했던 대가를 혹독하게 치렀다. 욥이 종이나 여종과 다툼이 있을 때 그들의 주장을 가볍게 여기지 않고 인내로 듣고, 이유를 살피며, 부드러운 대답을 준 것은(욥기 31:13) 그의 지혜인 동시에 덕이었다. 이처럼 아랫사람을 진심으로 배려하고 그들을 편안하게 해 주려는 자세는 교회에서든, 국가에서든, 가정에서든 권위 있는 자리에 있는 모든 이에게 칭송과 위로가 될 것이다.

4. **온건한 조언이 대체로 가장 지혜롭고 최선이다.** 온유함은 강압이 이루지 못하는 것을 이룬다. 대부분의 사람은 부드러운 접근을 좋아한다. 르호보암의 경험 많은 원로 고문들이 이 방법을 일러 주었다(역대하 10:7). "이 백성을 친절히 대하시고, 그들을 기쁘게 하시며, 좋은 말씀을 하신다면, 그들이 영원히 왕의 종이 될 것입니다." 좋은 말은 자기 절제 외에는 아무 비용도 들지 않지만, 좋은 것들을 얻어 낸다.

5. **하나님께서는 사람들을 우둔하게 하시고 그들 자신의 어리석은 생각에 내맡기심으로써 자신의 지혜의 경륜을 이루시는 경우가 많다.** 사람을 멸망시키는 데는 그를 스스로, 그리고 자기 교만과 격정에 내버려 두는 것으로 충분하다.

S E C O N D C H R O N I C L E S CHAP. X. This chapter is copied almost verbatim from 1 Kings 12:1-19 ; 2 Chronicles 10:1-19 , where it was opened at large. Solomon's defection from God was not repeated, but the defection of the ten tribes from his family is, in this chapter, where we find, I. How foolish Rehoboam was in his treating with them, 2 Chronicles 10:1 ; 2 Chronicles 10:5-14 . II. How wicked the people were in complaining of Solomon ( 2 Chronicles 10:2-4 ) and forsaking Rehoboam, 2 Chronicles 10:16-19 . III. How just and righteous God was in all this, 2 Chronicles 10:15 . His counsel was thereby fulfilled. With him are strength and wisdom; both the deceived and the deceiver (the fool and the knave) are his ( Job 12:16 ), that is, are made use of by him to suit his purposes. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-11" class="com-number"

역대하 10장은 열왕기상 12장 1-19절의 내용을 거의 그대로 옮겨 놓은 것으로, 그 본문에서 이미 상세히 해설된 바 있다. 솔로몬의 하나님으로부터의 타락은 여기서 반복되지 않지만, 열 지파가 솔로몬 왕가에서 이탈하는 내용은 이 장에서 다루어진다. 이 장에서 우리는 다음을 살펴보게 된다. 첫째, 르호보암이 백성을 상대하는 데 있어 얼마나 어리석었는지(역대하 10:1; 5-14절). 둘째, 솔로몬을 비난하고(역대하 10:2-4절) 르호보암을 떠난 백성들이 얼마나 악했는지(역대하 10:16-19절). 셋째, 이 모든 일에 있어서 하나님이 얼마나 공의롭고 의로우셨는지(역대하 10:15절). 하나님의 경륜이 이를 통해 성취되었다. 힘과 지혜는 그분께 있으며, 속은 자와 속인 자(어리석은 자와 간교한 자) 모두 그분의 손에 있다(욥기 12:16). 곧 그분께서 자신의 목적에 맞게 이들을 사용하신다.

Rehoboam's Folly. . 12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day. 13 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men, 14 And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 15 So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 16 And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thine own house. So all Israel went to their tents. 17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 18 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. 19 And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day. We may learn here, 1. That when public affairs are in a ferment violent proceedings do but make bad worse. Rough answers (such as Rehoboam here gave) do but stir up anger and bring oil to the flames. The pilot has need to steer steadily in a storm. Many have been driven to the mischief they did not intend by being too severely dealt with for what they did intend. 2. That, whatever the devices and designs of men are, God is, by all, doing his own work, and fulfilling the word which he has spoken, no iota or tittle of which shall fall to the ground. The cause of the king's obstinacy and thoughtlessness was of God, that he might perform the word which he spoke by Ahijah, 2 Chronicles 10:15 ; 2 Chronicles 10:15 . This does not at all excuse Rehoboam's folly, nor lessen the guilt of his haughtiness and passion, that God was pleased to serve his own ends by them. 3. That worldly wealth, honour, and dominion, are very uncertain things. Solomon reigned over all Israel, and, one would think, had done enough to secure the monarchy entire to his family for many ages; and yet he is scarcely cold in his grave before ten of the twelve tribes finally revolt from his son. All the good services he had done for Israel were now forgotten: What portion have we in David? Thus is the government of Christ cast off by many, notwithstanding all he has done to bind the children of men for ever to himself; they say, We will not have this man to reign over us. But this rebellion will certainly be their ruin. 4. That God often visits the iniquities of the fathers upon the children. Solomon forsakes God, and therefore not he, but his son after him, is forsaken by the greatest part of his people. Thus God, by making the penal consequences of sin to last long and visibly to continue after the sinner's death, would give an indication of its malignity, and perhaps some intimation of the perpetuity of its punishment. He that sins against God not only wrongs his soul, but perhaps wrongs his seed more than he thinks of. 5. That, when God is fulfilling his threatenings, he will take care of that, at the same time, promises do not fall to the ground. When Solomon's iniquity is remembered, and for it his son loses ten tribes, David's piety is not forgotten, nor the promise made to him; but for the sake of that his grandson had two tribes preserved to him. The failings of the saints shall not frustrate any promise made to Christ their Head. They shall be chastised, but the covenant not broken, Psalms 89:31-34 . return to ' Top of Page ' 2 Chronicles 2Ch 9 2 Chronicles 2Ch 2 Chronicles 2Ch 11 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain and are a derivative of an electronic edition that is available on the Christian Classics Ethereal Library Website.

**르호보암의 어리석음.** 12 사흘째 되는 날에 여로보암과 온 백성이 왕의 말대로 르호보암에게 왔습니다. "사흘 후에 나에게 다시 오라"고 했기 때문입니다. 13 왕이 그들에게 거칠게 대답했고, 르호보암 왕은 원로들의 조언을 버리고 14 젊은이들의 조언대로 대답했습니다. "내 아버지는 너희의 멍에를 무겁게 하였거니와 나는 거기에 더하리라. 내 아버지는 채찍으로 너희를 징계하였거니와 나는 전갈 채찍으로 징계하리라." 15 왕이 백성의 말을 듣지 않았으니, 이는 하나님께서 행하신 일이라, 주께서 실로 사람 아히야를 통해 느밧의 아들 여로보암에게 하신 말씀을 이루시려 함이었습니다. 16 온 이스라엘이 왕이 자기들의 말을 듣지 않는다는 것을 보고, 백성이 왕에게 대답했습니다. "우리가 다윗과 무슨 관계가 있느냐? 이새의 아들에게서 받을 유업이 없도다. 이스라엘아, 각자 자기 장막으로 돌아가라. 다윗이여, 이제 네 집을 스스로 돌보라." 이에 온 이스라엘이 자기 장막으로 돌아갔습니다. 17 그러나 유다 성읍들에 사는 이스라엘 자손에게는 르호보암이 왕 노릇을 하였습니다. 18 르호보암 왕이 노역 감독관 하도람을 보냈는데, 이스라엘 자손이 그를 돌로 쳐서 죽였습니다. 그러자 르호보암 왕은 급히 병거에 올라 예루살렘으로 도망쳤습니다. 19 이스라엘이 오늘까지 다윗의 집을 배반하고 있습니다.

여기서 우리는 다음과 같은 교훈을 배울 수 있다.

1. **공적인 일이 소란스러울 때 강압적인 처사는 나쁜 것을 더욱 악화시킬 뿐이다.** 르호보암이 여기서 한 것처럼 거친 대답은 분노를 불러일으키고 불에 기름을 붓는 격이다. 항해사는 폭풍 속에서 침착하게 키를 잡아야 한다. 많은 사람이 원래는 의도하지도 않았던 악을 저지르게 되는 것은 그들이 한 일에 대해 너무 가혹하게 다루어졌기 때문이다.

2. **사람들의 계략과 도모가 어떠하든 간에, 하나님께서는 그 모든 것을 통해 자신의 일을 행하시며, 일점일획도 땅에 떨어지지 않도록 자신이 하신 말씀을 성취하신다.** 왕이 완고하고 분별없이 행동한 원인은 하나님께 있었으니, 이는 그분께서 아히야를 통해 하신 말씀을 이루시기 위함이었다(역대하 10:15). 이것이 르호보암의 어리석음과 교만과 격정에 대한 죄책을 조금도 덜어 주지 않으며, 하나님께서 기뻐하여 그것들을 자신의 목적에 사용하셨다는 사실이 그를 변명해 주지는 않는다.

3. **세상의 재물과 명예와 권세는 매우 불안정한 것이다.** 솔로몬은 온 이스라엘을 다스렸고, 왕권을 자기 가문에 오랫동안 온전히 유지시키기 위해 충분한 일을 한 것처럼 보였다. 그런데 그가 무덤에서 채 식지도 않아 열두 지파 중 열이 그의 아들에게서 떠났다. 이스라엘을 위해 그가 쌓은 공로들은 이제 다 잊혔다. "우리가 다윗과 무슨 관계가 있느냐?" 이처럼 그리스도의 통치도 많은 사람에게 외면당하고 있으니, 그분께서 사람을 영원히 자신에게 묶기 위해 하신 모든 일에도 불구하고 그들은 이렇게 말한다. "우리는 이 사람이 우리를 통치하는 것을 원하지 않는다." 그러나 이 반역은 반드시 그들의 멸망이 될 것이다.

4. **하나님께서는 아버지의 죄악을 자녀에게 갚으시는 경우가 많다.** 솔로몬이 하나님을 떠났기에 그가 아닌 그의 아들이 백성 대부분에게 버림받게 된 것이다. 이처럼 하나님께서는 죄의 형벌적 결과가 오래 지속되고 죄인이 죽은 후에도 눈에 띄게 이어지게 하심으로써, 죄의 악독함을 드러내시고 그 형벌의 영속성을 암시하신다. 하나님께 죄를 짓는 사람은 자기 영혼에 해를 끼칠 뿐만 아니라, 생각지도 못한 방식으로 자기 자손에게도 해를 끼친다.

5. **하나님께서 자신의 경고를 이루실 때, 동시에 약속도 땅에 떨어지지 않도록 지키신다.** 솔로몬의 죄악이 기억되어 그 아들이 열 지파를 잃을 때에도 다윗의 경건함은 잊히지 않았고, 그에게 주신 약속도 마찬가지였다. 그 약속으로 인해 그의 손자에게는 두 지파가 보존되었다. 성도들의 실패가 그들의 머리이신 그리스도에게 주어진 어떤 약속도 무효로 만들지 못한다. 그들은 징계를 받겠지만 언약은 파기되지 않는다(시편 89:31-34).
