2 Chronicles 11 - Rehoboam's Reign in Judah | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to 2 Chronicles Chapter 11, read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In 2 Chronicles 11 we find out why Jews come from all the tribes, not just the tribe of Judah. The northern nation of Israel had decided to replace temple worship with golden calf worship to try to keep people from going to Jerusalem. It was a political decision, but got not only the Lord angry, but the Levites here deserted en mass, plus others. So from this point on the “Jews'' are actually people from a number of tribes, not just those from Judah. This might be why today we think of Jews as being everyone descended from Abraham. Some of the Levites actually moved to Jerusalem and Judah, but others moved their hearts but remained in the place they were. They were in very much the type of position most of us are in today, where politically we are under the jurisdiction of whatever nation and state, but our hearts belong to the Lord.

2 Chronicles 10 - The Division of the Kingdom | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to 2 Chronicles Chapter 10, read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In 2 Chronicles 10 Rehoboam becomes King of Judah. For someone who had for a father the wisest man on Earth, it seemed to do him no good. Rehoboam’s shocking lack of wisdom destroys a kingdom in three days, which has been preserved for 40 years by wisdom. Solomon’s wisdom of course came from the Lord, but Rehoboam didn’t seek wisdom as his father did. Secondly, Rehoboam listened to the voice of inexperience. He didn’t value wisdom, and it didn’t value him in return. Rehoboam was 41 years old when he became king according to the 1Kings 12 account and was thus born when his Dad was possibly 13 years of age. This makes sense if Solomon became co-regent king at 11, and married at 13 when he was considered a man. His mother was not Pharaoh’s daughter, but Naamah an Ammonitess - probably one of Solomon’s first wives, but not his famous wife. According to Josephus, Solomon then became king at 14. Rehoboam didn’t seem to appreciate what he had, and didn’t value it. This is often the dilemma of billionaire’s when raising their children. Rehoboam may have struggled with an entitlement mentality. James 1:5 says “if you lack wisdom, ask…” Rehoboam didn’t ask as far as we know.
