This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
That Jeroboam was come again, to wit, from Egypt, which was known before to the chief of the tribes, and to them who met at Shechem, and now was more universally known by all the people. They
sent to his tent or habitation, to which he had retired himself, as others also generally did: see above, 1Ki_12:16.
Called him unto the congregation; which was summoned by the elders of the several tribes, to take advice how to settle their affairs, which they easily agreed to do, by conferring the crown upon Jeroboam, according to God’s promise made to him.
There was none, i.e. no entire tribe. See Poole "1Ki_11:13,31,32".
