l_ LESSON _
THE REVOLT OF THE NORTHERN
TRIBES
International Sunday School Lesson
For May 4, 1947 '
Golden Text: “A man’s pride shall
bring him low; but he that is of a
lowly spirit shall obtain honor.”— '
Proverbs 29:23.
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*

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. <j
The reason stated by the prophet j
was that Solomon and his followers <
had discontinued walking in the ways j
of Jehovah. The change was not to «
be made until after Solomon’s death j
and the announcement was accom- j
panied by a promise that God would j
be with Jeroboam if he obeyed him j
and did that which was right. 1
Solomon learned in some way of the j
destined fate of Jeroboam and sought <J
to kill him. Jeroboam fled to Egypt j
until after Solomon was dead, then 5
he returned to Ephraim and became 1
the spokesman for the people of the 5
ten northern tribes. |
The result was a division of the j
kingdom, Jeroboam becoming king of |
the northern ten tribes, which inher- j
ited most of the sacred places of the <!
nation, but Judah retained the im- j
nense advantage of the location of <
the great city of Jerusalem with its J
temple. <
Naturally, there was much rivalry J
between the two kingdoms and there 1
was constant war between them. Jero
boam, fearing to let his people go to ‘
Jerusalem for their own religious ,
feasts and rites, established two ‘
shrines, one in the northern part at <
Dan and the other in Bethel, each '
having a golden calf to serve as an <
outward symbol of Jehovah to the
people.
He sinned by permitting the people
to worship an image and he further
sinned in selecting men to be priests
who were not of the tribe of Levi,
dedicated by God for the priesthood.
.Not only, did Jeroboam sin, but the
j scripture declares, he “made Israel to
| sin.”
During the two hundred and ten
years after Solomon’s death and the
complete ruin of the Northern King
dom, 19 different kings reigned—
some for only one or two years. It
is impossible to consider each, but
among them there were several right
eous men who tried to lead the people !
back to God. As a whole, however, 1
these kings were wicked men.

Fellow Townspeople
I lam seeking your support for the respon- |
I sible office of Councilman from the First |
I Ward. You have the right to know the rea- I
I sons which prompt me to seek this office. I
i As a business man, lamina position to |
I know how vitally interested every taxpayer I
I should be in the management of the municipal |
I affairs. It is my opinion that this is a critical 1
I time, not only for the nation and the State, but I
1 also for the County and Town in which we live. I
I The greatest problem before our Town is the I
proper collecting and spending of the tax- |
payers’ money. I stand for progress, but Ido I
not stand for extravagance and waste. In be- |
ling progressive, I want to keep progress in 4
proportion to our desired budget and expendi- I
tures. I believe the taxpayers are entitled to |
know how and why every penny of tax money I
is spent, so I shall insist upon full publicity I
regarding every expenditure. Therefore, if I
elected to this office, I shall endeavor to ex- I
ercise the same care and diligence in the hand- I
ling of the Town’s affairs as I would my own. I
Your vote is respectfully solicited.
