Episode notes
Value Wise Counsel Over Peers
- Rehoboam sought counsel but ignored the wise elders to listen only to peers who agreed with him.
- Seeking advice only from like-minded individuals limits learning and leads to poor decisions.
Rehoboam's Harshness Divides Kingdom
- Rehoboam harshly increased the people's burdens, causing a split of the kingdom into two separate nations.
- This division marks the beginning of the northern kingdom of Israel and southern kingdom of Judah.
Jeroboam's Idolatry and False Worship
