Lesson Text: I Kings 12:14; 12-15; 19-20. First Kings takes up the record of the Hebrews from the point where second Samuel stops, beginning with the old age of David, and recounting the glory of Solomon’s reign. Our lesson this week is about the division of the kingdom. Solomon’s era was one of outward greatness, but it contained the seeds of dissension. This king had hundreds of wives, many of them being foreign prin cesses with heathen outlooks, who set up their pagan shrines and turned the people of Israel from their allegiance to Jehovah. The construction of temples, pal aces, cities and other public structures made the burden of labor and taxation heavy, and towards the end of Solo mon’s reign there were signs of the discontent and dissatisfaction. Following the deatn of Solomon, the twelve tribes of Israelites as sembled to crown his son, Rehoboam,. king. Already there was much dis satisfaction and discontent in the kingdom because of the heavy bur-1 dens which the extravagances of Solo-1 mon had imposed on the people. Before crowning their new king, the people asked Rehoboam to pledge to ease their burdens. Rehoboam asked for three days to consider their request. Hehoboam wisely went to some of the older counsellors in his father’s kingdom and they advised that he heed the people’s demands. He then consulted some young men, with whom he had been reared, and they counseled him thus: “Say unto them, whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise J you with scorpions.” The young man j followed the latter counsel and, through his foolish decision, lost the greater part of his kingdom. Ten of the twelve tribes, instead of accepting Rehoboam as their king, chose Jereboam, a member of the | tribe of Ephraim, industrious and able, who had been promoted by Solo non into a position of leadership COBTIY FLAVOR* FOROIBH LAUD* among the many engaged in various < | public works. The prophet Ahijah < came to this leader with a divine mes- < sage, advising him that the kingdom « would be divided over fen, that he < would rule over ten tribes.
