IC ? Why the Kingdom Was Divide^
? ?he kingdom .#o gloriously adminis
tered In David's time reached Its'
climax in the time of Solomon. Solo
mon was led astray through the Influ
ence of his heathen wives, and the
kingdom had begun to wane. Qod had
expressed his indignation toward him
and made known the fact that the
kingdom was to be rent from him, yet
not in his time, but lit the time of
Rehoboam (I Kings li:9-13).
I. The Demand of the People (vv.
1-4).
This was occasioned ' by the burden
ot excessive taxation and enforced la
bor, rthlcb was required by Solomon
In order to (tolld costly bouses and
temples, for bis heathen wives.. Owing
to the multiplicity of his wives, this
became very burdensome. They prom
ised loyalty to him on the condition <Jf
lightened burdens.
II. Rehoboam's - Foolish Decision
(W. G-15). ,
1. Rehoboam Consulted With the
Old Hen (tv. 5-7). These yrera men .
of experience who,' had been Solomon's
adviser*. They advised that the peo
ple's request be -granted.
. 2. RehoboaosLCons^ed' the Yomsg
Men (vv. 6-11). These," young, men
had grown up with him, possibly were
his half-brothers, sons of , Solomon's
many wires. Being thus brought op In J
the ltyrary of -the harem, they were Ig
norant of the legal right of the people.
Therefore, they/ advised even tb&t the
burdens be Increased. :
8. Rehoboam Followed the Advice
of the Young Men (w. 12-15). At the
appointed time he 'announced his piir- .
pose to the people. He even answered
them roughly, asserting his purpose to
increase their burdens and sorrows.
III. The Revolt of the Teri Tribe*
(vt.1?-24). , >
Upon Reboboam's announcement of
Ms.raab purpose, all Israel crfed ont,
"What portion have we In ?DavIdt
. . to your tents, O Israel." ,
1 Rehoboam'e Attempt to Collect
Tribute (vv. 18, 10). Adoram, his
tribute gatherer, was stoned to death.
So violent was the opposition on the
part ot the people that Rehoboam had
to flee to Jerusalem to save his life.
2. Jeroboam Made King Over Israel
'(v. 20).. They seemed to have lost no'
time In -selecting a head so as to be
strbng in their opposition to Reho
boam. x ,0
8. Reboboam's Attempt to Compel
the Ten Tribes to Return to David
(w. 21-24). To effect this, he assem-{
bled his army ot 180,000 men. Through '
the prophecy txt Shemalah, which for
bade them to go against their brethren
they were, persuaded to return.
IV. J*roboam'au$cheme to Unify the
Ten Tribes (vv. 25-s6). ' -
1. He Established _Calf Worship (vv.
2&-30). t His pretext for this- worship
was his fear lest the "religious unity
should heal the political .separation.
His fear was that the people would
go back to Jerusalem to worship and
therefore would gradually be led to
acknowledge felleglance to Rehoboam
and hi* own' life would be taken. He
was too shrewd a politician to do
away with religion. He knew that
religion . was a ' powerful factor In
man's life. 1 The prevailing religion
of the world today Is a political one.
It 1s used as a sort of .content to hold
together people and political Interests.
2. His". Scheme of Worship (vv.
81-88).
(1) He built houses and high places
(v. 81). This was against the direct
command of Ood. God bad directed
His people to destroy the high places,
to break down the Idolatrous centers.
(2) He made priests of the lowest
of the people (v. 81). God had set
aside the tribe of Levi to fill the office
of priesthood. In this again he dis
obeyed Qod.
(8) He changed the day of the Feast
of the Tabernacle (v. 32). The time
of this feast was set by the Lord
(Lev. 23:88, 84). Jeroboam argued
that the change In the time would be
better suited to their northern climate,
but God who made the climate or
dained the time of the feast. It was
his business, therefore, to obey God.
(4) Jeroboam himself intrudes -Into
the priest's office. This act of pre
sumption on his psrt was the climax
of bis godless acts, which all grew
out of his wicked heart.
A Good Policy
For this Is my maxim. I hold that
the party receiving an obligation
should ever remember It, the party con
ferring it should forget It Immediately,
If one Is to act with honesty, the other
without meanness. ? Demosthenes.
