Today's reading reiterates the beginning of succession of Kings in Judah and Israel after the death of Solomon. Jeroboam began to rule Israel, while Rehoboam ruled Judah. Neither king honored the Lord and He let them fail. This set up a pattern where there would be wicked kings and Godly kings. What the Godly king did, the wicked king destroyed. The evil practices and shrines instituted by an evil king were destroyed by the good king. This continuous up and down chaos eroded the belief of the people in the true God and set them up for ultimate failure and exile.
May God bless you and bless the reading of His Word.
