We delve into the turbulent reign of Rehoboam, son of Solomon, over the kingdom of Judah. Despite inheriting the legitimate temple and priesthood, Rehoboam and his people turn away from God, provoking His jealousy with idolatry and sinful practices. We explore the consequences of their unfaithfulness, including the invasion by Shishak, king of Egypt, and the plundering of Jerusalem. The episode highlights God's mercy when Rehoboam and the leaders humble themselves, demonstrating God’s gracious response to repentance.
