The Crisis and the Error

enui! and slory to iiis caiutal eity, Jeru
salem, and did not evenly distribute it
thrC'U'^houi the nation. Indeed, following
the eiistoni of otliei- Kin.ii's, wt^iilth was
gathered largely from the enforced labor
ef liis subjects, wiio were eonipelled to
labor at his enpital for the common weal
wit nont p&y. They were drafted and put
unc'er task-rna.sters. in Solomon’s day
tiiis was borne, thovigh sometimes resent
fully, but when his son came to the throne
thf nortliern tribes determined that tliey
would not aeknowledtje him as king imiess
he save theui what might be termed a
bil: of I'ight.s—a Magna Cliaita.
They sent to Kgypt for one of their
leaders, whom .Solomon had exiled for his
©utspolcen criticisms. Throush hlra the
ten tribeii had a .general c«)nference of
tribe U-aders and informed Reiioboam that
they wore not sfiti.sfied with the way they
hud l>een treated \>y King Solomon^.
Kehoboain and all i-i itli^:'d that a crisis
in the af]!iir.' of the kiuKJoni liad come.
T.'ie matter wa.s too weiHlity in iio decided
hastily, tie called for the secretaries of
the kingdom, his father’s coun.sellors. eld
erly men, to know their advice. Their
reeoinnierjdations were go>Ml. They rec
ommended that he be a servant of the
people; that instead of accumulating
■wealth at the capital and being personally
great, he should seive the entire nation,
looking out for all of its interests and for
warding the same—e.Naetly what the ten
tribes desired.
The Griev/ous Decision
Next. Kehoboam called the youns men,
his friends and acquaintances, his school
mates. whom be was dlspos>d more and
more to bi-ing into power with hiniself.
Their advice was that the one way ifor a
monarch to be successful is to intimidate
his stib.lcct.® and rule them with a heavy
hand. The young

prhiciples of jus
tice in human af
fairs. AVi.se as his
father was, he had
neglected to pre
pare hj.s son for a
proper decision in
the crisis upon him.
Tlie king followed
the advice of the
young men and,
in flgurative lan
guage, said. "You
claim that my fa

you ask me to

the greater part of
ten tribes fevolted;

sovereignty also, deflected, and left the
king but a small minority of his empire,
although it was the richest, most influen
tial portion.
The Point of This Study
There is a lesson in this study for all,
namely, the importance of wisdom in our
decisions, especially at tlie stars of life
and at various partings of tin- ways, as
we come to them in life’s journey. To all
there is a lesson worth iearnin.!? in the
matter of pride and ambition, threats and
attempted coercions and the unwisdom o*
such courses, as well as their Injustice.
Wealth, power, influence, gained through
oppression and injustice, are unworthy of
noble minds, and this principle can be ap
plied on the smaller scale as well aa on
the larger. In homes the principle op
erates between piirents and children, be
tween husbands and wives. Alas! too of
ten in the home control is held by force
rather than by love and' esteem, and the
appreciation of justice .and the general
welfare.
Another lesson is that in every enter
prise of life we should seek counsel. In
this connection let us remember the words
of the Apostle that we seek the wisdom
that corneth from above, that is "first
pure, then peaceable, easy of eistreatment
and full ot mercy and good fruita.”

Jeroboam’s F-'irst Mistake |
Jt should be renuu’ked that one of God's
prophets had specially foretold to Jero-
bi»ani that he '^vas to be the king of the
ten tribes, it w!i>; doubtless this ll at led
iiiiii to head the in.siirrection. lie should
have followed the e.xamplo of Kirs Da
vid, vvhfi was anointed Kins' of Israel sev
eral years before the death of Kinj' Saul.

sons of S'Slf-conti'iil and trust in Divine
Frovidencp.
Not so Jeroboam, who was evidently a
very different type of man. no doiibt pos- |
se.ssed of more confidence in hlnjs If than j
of trust in God; jiossossed of mor.: impa- ;
tience to be a king than of loya-ty and

This lirst mistake siiould be noted by all,

man who ignores God is not wise; the
man who opposes God is a fool.
