A parallel account of the fall of Rehoboam

• When Jereboam abolished the Levite priesthood in the North, the Levites moved south ( 11:13-16)
• Rehoboam, like his father Solomon, had many wives and concubines (vs 18-21)
• Like many others, when Rehoboam was established he forssok the law of the LORD, and he led others to do so also (12:1)
• God sent Shemiah the prophet to warn the people about their sin; and the people repented. (vs 5-8).
• Rehoboam did evil because he did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord ( 2 Chronicles 12:14 ). What preparations have you made to seek the Lord?
