Context — Civil War against Jeroboam
4Then Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim in the hill country of Ephraim and said, “Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel!
5Do you not know that the LORD, the God of Israel, has given the kingship of Israel to David and his descendants forever by a covenant of salt ?
6Yet Jeroboam son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon son of David, rose up and rebelled against his master.
7Then worthless and wicked men gathered around him to resist Rehoboam son of Solomon when he was young, inexperienced, and unable to resist them. 8And now you think you can resist the kingdom of the LORD, which is in the hands of David’s descendants. You are indeed a vast army, and you have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made for you as gods.Cross References

2 Chronicles 13:6 Summary
This verse tells us that Jeroboam, who was once a servant of King Solomon, decided to rebel against his master. This act of rebellion is a reminder that we must submit to God-ordained authority, just as we are called to submit to God Himself, as seen in Romans 13:1-2. By submitting to authority, we demonstrate our trust in God's sovereignty and provision, as seen in Psalms 37:3-7. Just like Jeroboam's rebellion had consequences, our actions also have consequences, and we must strive to live in obedience to God's will, as taught in 1 Samuel 15:22-23.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of Jeroboam being a servant of Solomon?
Jeroboam's role as a servant of Solomon highlights the great responsibility and trust he was given, which he later betrayed by rebelling against his master, as seen in 2 Chronicles 13:6, a pattern reminiscent of the rebellion of Satan against God in Isaiah 14:13-14.
How does this verse relate to the concept of authority and submission?
This verse illustrates the importance of submitting to God-ordained authority, as Jeroboam's rebellion against King Solomon, who was appointed by God, is a clear example of disobedience, similar to the disobedience of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:6.
What can we learn from Jeroboam's actions in this verse?
We can learn that rebellion against God-ordained authority can have severe consequences, as seen in the division of the kingdom of Israel, and that humility and submission are essential for a right relationship with God, as taught in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Romans 13:1-2.
How does this verse fit into the broader narrative of 2 Chronicles?
This verse sets the stage for the conflict between the kingdoms of Judah and Israel, highlighting the consequences of Jeroboam's rebellion and the faithfulness of God to the Davidic covenant, as seen in 2 Chronicles 13:5 and 2 Samuel 7:12-16.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I may be rebelling against God-ordained authority, and how can I submit to it?
- How can I balance the desire for freedom and autonomy with the need to submit to authority, as seen in Romans 13:1-7?
- What are some ways in which I can demonstrate humility and submission in my relationships with others, as taught in Ephesians 5:21 and 1 Peter 5:5?
- How can I trust God's sovereignty and provision when faced with difficult circumstances or authorities, as seen in Psalms 37:3-7 and Proverbs 3:5-6?

2 Chronicles 13:6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord.Ver. 6. Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon.] But such a servant, as being delicately brought up by him, and courteously dealt with, would needsly become his son at length, as Proverbs 29:21, rising up and rebelling against his lord, as he is justly charged, though God foretold that he should be king.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 13:6
