Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - Shemaiah the man of God. This is the first historical mention (1 Kings 12:22) of Shemaiah. The second is found in 2 Chronicles 12:5, 7, on occasion of the invasion of Judah and Jerusalem by Shishak King of Egypt; and the third, in the same chapter, ver. 15, that he wrote a book respecting the acts of Rehoboam. The expression, "man of God," owns to a somewhat unexplained history. It is first found in the added part of Deuteronomy (Deuteronomy 33:1), where it is applied to Moses. It occurs once in Joshua (Joshua 14:6); twice in Judges (Judges 13:6, 8); four times in Samuel (1 Samuel 2:27; 1 Samuel 9:6-8); twenty-nine times in Kings; six times in Chronicles; once each in Ezra, Nehemiah and Jeremiah.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) The Lord.--Kings has "God" twice. The chronicler does not always avoid the name Jehovah.Shemaiah.--So Kings. The chronicler writes the longer form, Shemay?hu; and so Ahiy?hu in 2Chronicles 10:15.
