Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerses 8, 9. - The five succeeding thrusts of these two verses, prefaced by the somewhat self-conscious but, nevertheless, validly pleaded orthodoxy of his own position, are well delivered by Abijah. Jeroboam is scathed (1) for his confidence in a great multitude; (2) for his golden calves for gods; (3) for what amounted necessarily to the excommunication and repudiation of the priests of the Lord, time- and nation-honoured; . . .

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) And now ye think.--Literally, say, i.e., in your hearts (2Chronicles 2:1).To withstand the kingdom.--Literally, to show yourselves strong before the kingdom, as in last verse.In (through) the hand of the sons of David.--The meaning is, the kingdom which Jehovah holds by the instrumentality of the house of David, as His earthly representatives. (Comp. Vulg., "regno Domini quod possidet per filios David." (See 1Chronicles 29:23).And there are with you golden calves.--And therefore you believe yourselves assured of Divine aid, in addition to the strength of numbers. But your trust is delusive, for Jeroboam made the objects of your fond idolatry (see Isaiah 44:9-17); and you have superseded the only lawful worship of Jehovah (2Chronicles 13:9). . . .
