1 KINGS XIII. all. And XIV. all.

A Double miracle wrought [Rehoboam. 4] [Ieroboam. 4] [Division. 4] at Bethel, the Altar rent, [World 3034] [Rehoboam. 5] [Ieroboam. 5] [Division. 5] and the Idol Shepheards arm [Rehoboam. 6] [Ieroboam. 6] [Division. 6] clean dried up, as Zech. 11. 17. [Rehoboam. 7] [Ieroboam. 7] [Division. 7] yet his eyes darkned that he will [Rehoboam. 8] [Ieroboam. 8] [Division. 8] see nothing. A false Prophet to [Rehoboam. 9] [Ieroboam. 9] [Division. 9] uphold the Idolatry, findeth a [Rehoboam. 10] [Ieroboam. 10] [Division. 10] trick to undo the true Prophet [Rehoboam. 11] [Ieroboam. 11] [Division. 11] that had spoken against it: [Rehoboam. 12] [Ieroboam. 12] [Division. 12] God giveth up the true Phrophet to a [Rehoboam. 13] [Ieroboam. 13] [Division. 13] Lion for disgracing his message: [Rehoboam. 14] [Ieroboam. 14] [Division. 14] And maketh the false Prophet [Rehoboam. 15] [Ieroboam. 15] [Division. 15] prophesie truly of the ruine of [Rehoboam. 16] [Ieroboam. 16] [Division. 16] those Idolaters. Jeroboam looseth [Rehoboam. 17] [Ieroboam. 17] [Division. 17] his best Son Ahijah, yet none of these strange and fearful occurrences avail with him to reduce or reverse him from his Idolatry, the time of the renting of the Altar at Bethel is uncer∣tain: but it was not presently after the building of it, for there were now divers high places set up in Samaria, as well as in Bethel, 1 King. 13. 32. Nor is the time of Abijahs death determinable: If Shechem and Tirzah were not one and the same Town, it appeareth that Jeroboam had removed his Court when his son dieth, from where it was when he first erected his Idols. Compare 1 King. 12. 25. with Chap. 14. 17. and so it may argue that there was some space between.

There are continual and bitter wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their time, though Shemaiah had parted them at the first offer of a battel after the division.
