Thou must consider herein two things; First, the Action: Secondly, the evil in that action. The Action was the making of Jeroboam King▪ and this action was good, and was from the Lord, 1 K. 11. 31. And in respect of this, Jeroboam was their lawful King. But the evil in that action which was their falling off, and withdrawing their obedience from Rehoboam, and rebellion, was from themselves, their proud and corrupt natures; And i• respect of this, Jeroboam was an usurper; as he confesseth himself, 1 K. 12. 27. If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people return again unto their Lord, even to Rehoboam.
