• Now when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it,
  he was living in Egypt (for he was yet in Egypt,
  where he had fled from the presence of King
  Solomon). 3 Then they sent and called him, and
  Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came and
  spoke to Rehoboam, saying, 4 Your father made
  our yoke hard now therefore lighten the hard
  service of your father and his heavy yoke which
  he put on us, and we will serve you.

• Then he said to them, Depart for three days,
  then return to me. So the people departed. 6
  King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had
  served his father Solomon while he was still
  alive, saying, How do you counsel me to answer
  this people? 7 Then they spoke to him, saying,
  If you will be a servant to this people today,
  and will serve them and grant them their
  petition, and speak good words to them, then they
  will be your servants forever.

8
1 Kings 128-9

• But he forsook the counsel of the elders which
  they had given him, and consulted with the young
  men who grew up with him and served him. 9 So he
  said to them, What counsel do you give that we
  may answer this people who have spoken to me,
  saying, Lighten the yoke which your father put
  on us?

9
1 Kings 1210-11

• The young men who grew up with him spoke to him,
  saying, Thus you shall say to this people who
  spoke to you, saying, Your father made our yoke
  heavy, now you make it lighter for us! But you
  shall speak to them, My little finger is thicker
  than my father's loins! 11 Whereas my father
  loaded you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your
  yoke my father disciplined you with whips, but I
  will discipline you with scorpions.

1 Kings 1212-14

• Then Jeroboam and all the people came to
  Rehoboam on the third day as the king had
  directed, saying, Return to me on the third
  day. 13 The king answered the people harshly,
  for he forsook the advice of the elders which
  they had given him, 14 and he spoke to them
  according to the advice of the young men, saying,
  My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add
  to your yoke my father disciplined you with
  whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.

12
What my father did
What I will do
Add to your yoke
Made your yoke heavy
Discipline you with scorpions
Disciplined you with whips
13
1 Kings 1215

• So the king did not listen to the people for it
  was a turn of events from the LORD, that He might
  establish His word, which the LORD spoke through
  Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of
  Nebat.

The kings heart is like channels of water in the
hand of the Lord He turns it wherever He wishes.
(Proverbs 211).
14
1 Kings 1216-17

• When all Israel saw that the king did not listen
  to them, the people answered the king, saying,
  What portion do we have in David? We have no
  inheritance in the son of Jesse To your tents, O
  Israel! Now look after your own house, David! So
  Israel departed to their tents. 17 But as for
  the sons of Israel who lived in the cities of
  Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

  incense.

  God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel,
  Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar,
  saying, "Seize him." But his hand which he
  stretched out against him dried up, so that he
  could not draw it back to himself. 5 The altar
  also was split apart and the ashes were poured
  out from the altar, according to the sign which
  the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.

27
1 Kings 136

• The king said to the man of God, Please entreat
  the LORD your God, and pray for me, that my hand
  may be restored to me. So the man of God
  entreated the LORD, and the king's hand was
  restored to him, and it became as it was before.

  his evil way, but again he made priests of the
  high places from among all the people any who
  would, he ordained, to be priests of the high
  places. 34 This event became sin to the house of
  Jeroboam, even to blot it out and destroy it from
  off the face of the earth.

• Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of
  the LORD more than all who were before him. 31
  It came about, as though it had been a trivial
  thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the
  son of Nebat, that he married Jezebel the
  daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and
  went to serve Baal and worshiped him. 32 So he
  erected an altar for Baal in the house of Baal
  which he built in Samaria.

65
1 Kings 195-7

• He lay down and slept under a juniper tree and
  behold, there was an angel touching him, and he
  said to him, Arise, eat. 6 Then he looked and
  behold, there was at his head a bread cake baked
  on hot stones, and a jar of water. So he ate and
  drank and lay down again. 7 The angel of the
  LORD came again a second time and touched him and
  said, Arise, eat, because the journey is too
  great for you.

  for the LORD, the God of hosts for the sons of
  Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down
  Your altars and killed Your prophets with the
  sword. And I alone am left and they seek my
  life, to take it away.

• So He said, Go forth and stand on the mountain
  before the LORD. And behold, the LORD was
  passing by! And a great and strong wind was
  rending the mountains and breaking in pieces the
  rocks before the LORD but the LORD was not in
  the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but
  the LORD was not in the earthquake. 12 After the
  earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the
  fire and after the fire a sound of a gentle
  blowing.

• When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his
  mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of
  the cave. And behold, a voice came to him and
  said, What are you doing here, Elijah? 14
  Then he said, I have been very zealous for the
  LORD, the God of hosts for the sons of Israel
  have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your

88

• So the young man, the servant of the prophet,
  went to Ramoth-gilead. 5 When he came, behold,
  the captains of the army were sitting, and he
  said, "I have a word for you, O captain." And
  Jehu said, "For which one of us?" And he said,
  "For you, O captain."

89
2nd Kings 96-7

• He arose and went into the house, and he poured
  the oil on his head and said to him, "Thus says
  the LORD, the God of Israel, 'I have anointed you
  king over the people of the LORD, even over
  Israel. 7 You shall strike the house of Ahab
  your master, that I may avenge the blood of My
  servants the prophets, and the blood of all the
  servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.

90
2nd Kings 914-15

• So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi
  conspired against Joram. Now Joram with all
  Israel was defending Ramoth-gilead against Hazael
  king of Aram, 15 but King Joram had returned to
  Jezreel to be healed of the wounds which the
  Arameans had inflicted on him when he fought with
  Hazael king of Aram. So Jehu said, "If this is
  your mind, then let no one escape or leave the
  city to go tell it in Jezreel."

  was standing on the tower in Jezreel and he saw
  the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see
  a company. And Joram said, Take a horseman and
  send him to meet them and let him say, Is it
  peace?

93
2nd Kings 920

• The watchman reported, "He came even to them,
  and he did not return and the driving is like
  the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he
  drives furiously."

94
2nd Kings 921

• Then Joram said, "Get ready." And they made his
  chariot ready. Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah
  king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and
  they went out to meet Jehu and found him in the
  property of Naboth the Jezreelite.

95

• And Jehu drew his bow with his full strength and

• When Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled
  by the way of the garden house. And Jehu pursued
  him and said, "Shoot him too, in the chariot." So
  they shot him at the ascent of Gur, which is at
  Ibleam. But he fled to Megiddo and died there.

  said, Who is on my side? Who? And two or three

  horses, and he trampled her under foot.
