“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.”
וַיִּשְׁלַח הַמֶּלֶךְ רְחַבְעָם אֶת אֲדֹרָם אֲשֶׁר עַל הַמַּס כוּ' וְהַמֶּלֶךְ רְחַבְעָם הִתְאַמֵּץ לַעֲלוֹת בַּמֶּרְכָּבָה. הָעִנְיָן שֶׁאָמְרוּ בַּגְּמָרָא (סנהדרין מ"ח:) כִּי רְחַבְעָם הָיָה זָב, יִתְרָאֶה שֶׁמִּכָּאן פָּשְׁטוּ, כִּי זָב הַיְינוּ שֶׁמְּמַהֵר וּמַקְדִּים הַזְּמַן אַף שֶׁאַחַר כָּךְ יִהְיֶה שֶׁלּוֹ, וְכֵן מַלְכוּת בֵּית דָּוִד וַדַּאי עֲתִידָה לִהְיוֹת פְּשׁוּטָה עַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל רַק שֶׁאָז הָיָה בְּלֹא זְמַנּוֹ מַה שֶּׁהִתְאַמֵּץ לַעֲלוֹת בַּמֶּרְכָּבָה.
