The kingdom of Israel is divided because of the foolishness of Solomon’s son, Rehoboam. But just as God had promised and ordained, a portion of Israel remained with David’s line. Through this, God chose to bless Jeroboam, who became the king of Israel. Tragically, instead of worshiping God, Jeroboam created a false religion and led the ten northern tribes of Israel astray. As a result, God pronounced judgement against Jeroboam and will destroy Jeroboam’s family; God also declares that Israel will face exile for their sin.
