We'll pick up with Jeroboam this week. We touched on him last week but here's a quick summary to bring us to 1 Kings 12:16:
A prophet Ahijah tore his cloak into 12 pieces and gave Jeroboam 10, signifying that he'd lead the 10 tribes that would split off to become the Northern Kingdom. The southern tribe, Judah would be set apart for David's line. The LORD, speaking through Ahijah, promises this to Jeroboam, so Solomon seeks to kill him. Jeroboam flees to Egypt, Solomon dies, Rehoboam (Solomon's son) is made king (in Shechem), Jeroboam returns.
Read these 2 sections: 1 Kings 12:16-13:10; and 13:33-14:20
We're skipping the section on the disobedient prophet.
I'll bring the 'manuscript'. See you Friday.
