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.
