Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 4. - This thing is from me; i.e. the punishing disruption; not the precedent causes with the entirety of historical events; this punishing and witnessing disruption is not to be "lightly healed" The man who did what caused it, the men who did what caused it, cannot thus each undo what they have done - least of all undo it by the appeal of war. They and theirs will have, long as life lasts, as lives last, to go through the baptism of bitter suffering, and leave a heritage of the same for others.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) Thus saith the Lord.--The words of the prophecy are reported as in 1Kings 12:24, omitting "the sons of Israel" after "your brethren."This thing is done of me.--Literally, from me became (arose) this matter; viz., of the revolt of the ten tribes. (Comp. 2Chronicles 10:15 : "For the cause was of God.")Words.--"Word," Kings and the versions here, no doubt rightly, as this is the usual phrase. But comp. 1Samuel 15:1.From going against Jeroboam.--Kings, "To go away, according to the word of the Lord "--a tautology which the chronicler has avoided. The rest of the chapter is wanting in the Syriac and Arabic Versions, which have instead 1Kings 12:25-30; 1Kings 13:34; 1Kings 14:1-9, where they break off abruptly, without finishing Ahijah's prophecy. . . .
