Rehoboam Inherited Judgment, Not Failure — Until He Chose It. Highlighting foolish leadership and the consequences of leaning on our own understanding instead of seeking the wisdom of God. Though he inherited the judgment of a divided kingdom, consequences for Solomon's idolatry, Rehoboam could have changed the trajectory of the nation's future by staying in God's will by actively seeking Him to stay in relationship and in covenant. The blessing for obedience and seeking God with all his heart could have brought prosperity and an enduring kingdom despite setbacks. Though prophecy was fulfilled through his foolish leadership, it is possible that the judgment could have been delayed as it was during Solomon's life. But instead, he set in motion not only a kingdom divided, but a kingdom fallen - one that was headed for exile due to blatant defiance of God, despite seeing and experiencing the results of such rebellion firsthand by his fathers example.
