REHOBOAM
Rehoboam was Solomons
son who succeeded his father. His mother was an Amonitess. Rehoboam goofed
right from the beginning by listening to young people. He lost the other 10
tribes to Jeroboam as a result of his insensitivity like himself instead of
listening to God fearing elderly ones. His reign was described as wicked. He
reigned for 17years.
LESSONS
Leaders should not surround themselves with those who
will simply fan their ego and prompt them to oppress their subjects. Having
young godless people as advisers can lead to licentiousness and doom for the
nation. Never take your subjects for granted. During his reign idolatry
prevailed, sodomy and other abominations practiced by nations around them was
reported, king shushak of Egypt also attacked Jerusalem and took away the
treasures in the house of God and the king’s palace.
