Mei HaShiloach · Volume I, Prophets, I Kings, Chapter 12

וישלח המלך רחבעם את אדרם אשר על המס וכו' והמלך רחבעם התאמץ לעלות במרכבה. הענין שאמרו בגמ' (סנהדרין מ"ח:) כי רחבעם היה זב יתראה שמכאן פשטו, כי זב היינו שממהר ומקדים הזמן אף שאח"כ יהיה שלו, וכן מלכות בית דוד ודאי עתידה להיות פשוטה על כל ישראל רק שאז היה בלא זמנו מה שהתאמץ לעלות במרכבה.
“Then King Rechavoam sent Adoram, who was over the forced labor; and all Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. Therefore King Rechavoam exerted to mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.” (Melachim 1, 12:18) The matter is discussed in the Gemara (Sanhedrin, 48b), ‘Rechavoam had an issue.”14An issue refers to an untimely seminal flow, or gonorrhea, signaled in that he had to exert himself to mount his chariot. This shows his sin, for “issue” means rushing and preceding the proper time, even though afterwards the kingdom would be his. And thus, in the future the kingdom of the house of David will spread over all of Israel, yet here, with Rechavoam, he preceded his time, in exerting to mount his chariot.”
