Kingdom of ISRAEL.

2 CHRON. X. all. And XI. [Division. 1] to Verse 5.

[World 3030] [Rehoboam. 1] [Ieroboam. 1] JEROBOAM of Ephraim draweth ten Tribes from the house of David, from the Tem∣ple that stood near it, and from the promise of Christ that was affixed to it. And this suddain rent of Solomons Kingdom, did plainly teach, that the King and Kingdom promised to David was not of this world, but of ano∣ther: which King and Kingdom the revolting Tribes have now forsaken, and by forsaking have lost Christ, have lost Religion, and have lost themselves: And here is a kind of an Antichristian faction now risen in the world before Christs appearing. The very foundation of this revolt of the Tribes was laid in the blood of Adoram: Rehoboam seeketh to reduce the people with a strong hand, whom with a gentle he would not retain.

PSAL. II.

WITH the Story of the Apostacy of the ten Tribes, read the second Psalm, which was prophetically made by David, Act. 4. 25. upon this revolt and rebellion; and this is the first aim and intent of it, though in a se∣cond and more full it hits upon the greater rebellion which this but typified, and that is Judahs despising and crucifying the Lord of life, being indeed ex∣hibited, as Israel despiseth him here, being promised. And as the Psalmist had touched in the first Psalm, upon the fall of Adam, who miscarried by walking in the counsel of the ungodly, the Serpent and the seduced woman; and had shewed a way how to withstand and escape such counsellings, namely, by me∣ditation and delight in the Law of the Lord. So doth he in this Psalm touch upon the fall of the ten Tribes, and how they miscarried by casting away the cords of obligation, which God had tied them in to the throne of David, and he giveth admonition to them to be wiser, and adviseth both them and the ge∣neration that put the Lord to death, and all ages to come, To kiss the Son by a loving and submissive obedience, as 1 Sam. 10. 1. and so to escape the wrath to come, Matth. 3. when the Lords anger should be kindled, and destroy the peo∣ple that had been his destroyers.
