Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 11:30

11:28 Charge - The taxes and tributes.

11:29 Went - Probably to execute his charge. Were alone - Havinggone aside for private conference; for otherwise it is most likely that hehad servants attending him, who, though they hear not the words, yet mightsee the action, and the rending of Jeroboam's coat; and thus it came toSolomon's ears, who being so wise, could easily understand the thing bywhat he heard of the action, especially when a prophet did it.
