bible 2Chronicles:10 -
kjv@2Chronicles:10-11 > > RandyP : It is important to realize what is happening here because what has been set forth now will play out the remainder of Israel/Judah's days. Because of the harsh rule of Judah over the 10 tribes there is a succession led by the exile Jeroboam . A sin is begun that will continued down through every Israel king, a nationalized form of false worship. The Levitical priests are banished and the former Levite cities abandoned. This split was predicted by the prophet Ahijah and confirmed here by God.
kjv@2Chronicles:10-11 > > RandyP : While Jeroboam was well aware of why God was choosing to divide the nation because of a particular false worship by Solomon kjv@1Kings:11:31-39 , it is of interest that he used the occasion to set up a false worship of his own.
