Show Summary
In today’s episode, Solomon’s son Rehoboam takes the throne. Instead of ruling wisely, he rejects the counsel of the elders, follows the advice of his peers, and provokes the division of the kingdom. This chapter reminds us of the consequences of pride and folly, and the importance of listening to godly wisdom.
