Then Jeroboam built Shechem in Mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein,.... Not that this city had lain in ruins from the times of Abimelech, Jdg 9:45 for then it would not have been a proper place for the convention of the people, Kg1 12:1 but he repaired the walls of it, and fortified it, and built a palace in it for his residence:
and went out from thence, and built Penuel; a place on the other side Jordan, the tower of which was beaten down by Gideon, Jdg 8:17 and might be now rebuilt, or at least the city was repaired by him, and anew fortified, perhaps for the better security of his dominions on that side Jordan; though Fortunatus Scacchus (p) is of opinion that this was an altar, the same as at Carmel, Kg1 18:30, which Jeroboam built, and called by this name in testimony of the common religion of the Israelites and Jews.

23. and to the remnant of the people] (R.V. the rest). We see from 1Ki_12:17 above that there were some people belonging to the ten tribes who were dwelling in the cities of Judah. These would have their ties in the place where they had long lived, and so would cast in their lot with the southern kingdom, rather than, because of the division, remove from their homes and seek new ones in the north. These must be intended by ‘the remnant of the people.’
