Wise Counsel-The Consequences of Bad Choices: Kings 12:1-20

Episode 591: In this episode, we delve into the specifics of 1 Kings 12, where the people of Israel approach Rehoboam, asking him to lighten the heavy burdens imposed by his father. Instead of heeding the advice of the older, wiser men who suggested a more servant-hearted approach, Rehoboam opts for a harsh response, declaring that he will make their burdens even heavier. This decision leads to a significant backlash, with the northern tribes rejecting his rule and ultimately crowning Jeroboam as their king.
