What hath this reference to?1 What Covenant did they §1make? And wherein did they swear falsely? Some think it hath reference to the Covenant that the People did make with Jeroboam at the first, and so with his Successors; that is thus, The People came to him and took their Oaths, and entered into solemn League, that they would stand by him in the breach that he made from the house of David, that they would stand by him in opposing those that would not yield to him in the Alteration of Worship: For their Princes would not probably have been so strongly set upon the Alteration of the ways of Worship, had not the People joined themselves freely to him by way of Oaths and Covenant; now when he saw that the People came in flocking and willing to yield to the Oath which he would give them, upon this he was confirmed in the way that he went in; and so they took Oaths in Covenanting with Jeroboam which were but Oaths of vanity; for so the same word that signifies False, 2signifies Vain in the Hebrew tongue: so I find Arias Montanus, and Vatablus take the words as having reference to that.
