Text of the Leaaon, I Kins* xii, 1220—Memory Verzes, 12-14—Golden Text, Prov. xrl, 18 — Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright, IDO-1, by American Press Association.] Returning to the Old Testament for our next six months’ studies, we are still studying In the same book, for the whole Bible Is one book, all witten by the Holy Spirit, that we may know God and serve Him, resist the devil and overcome him. The great topic in the Old Testament is Israel, a kingdom unto God, Jehovah their King, Jerusalem the throne of the Lord, that all the people of the earth may know that the Lord is God and that they may fear Him (Ex. xix, 5. 0; I Sam. viii, 7; I Chron. xxviii, 5; xxix, 23; I Kings viii, 43. GO). At the time of our lesson three kings had each reigned forty years over all Israel, but Solomon had so turned away from the Lord God to the worship of idols that the Lord had determined to rend the kingdom and give ten tribes to Jeroboam, son of Nebat. Head the full record in chapter xi. Rehoboam, son of Solomon, reigned in his father’s stead (xi, 43). Jeroboam and all the congregation came to him to request him to lighten the heavy yoke which his father had put upon them. He asked them to give him three days to consider it and then come again to \Jiim (xii, 1-12). The third day has come, and they wait upon the king for his reply. But it is a dark day for Israel. They are to hear no comforting words; their yoke is to be made heavier instead of lighter. Y'et this man was supposed to be the Lord’s representative (I Chron. xxix, 23). How be belied his God and proved himself a representative of the great oppressor whom he served! Rehoboam did not ask counsel of God, but of the old men and the young _ men, and decided to follow the advice of the latter, so he spake roughly to Jeroboam and the people, the Lord overruling, for He bad determined to divide the kingdom (verses 13-15). “Roughly” is the same word that in verse 4 is translated “grievous.” Joseph also spoke roughly to his brethren (Gen. xlii, 7, 30), but in his case it was only outward roughness, yet well deserved. Jesus Christ, the true King of Israel, alw'ays had compassion upon the people and only spoke roughly to self righteous hypocrites, who richly deserved it. It is to be feared that some speak even the truth roughly instead of in love (Eph. iv, 15). If we are Spirit filled children of God, we shall not unnecessarily speak roughly. Wicked counselors are, for the time being at least, in the service of the first of the kind, wl*o led Adam and Eve astray, yet even mothers have been known to counsel their own sons to do wickedly (Gen. xxvii, 13; II Chron. xxii, 3). Meditation upon the word of God will deliver from the counsel of the ungodly, and Rehoboam had plain written instructions in this matter*'(Dent, xvii, 18-20; Fs. i, 1, 2). Having received tlie king's answer, they departed from him. turning their backs upon the house of David, and made Jeroboam their king, as the Lord had purposed. Only the tribes of Judah and Benjamin remained with Re^ hoboam, and when be w'oukl have fought with Israel to bring them back to him Shemaiah, the man of God, was sent to him with this message from the Lord: “Ye shall not go up nor fight against your brethren, the children of Israel. Return every man to his house, for this thing is from me” (verses 2124). But listbn to these words: “Thussaith the Lord God, Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations whither they be gone and will - gather them on every side and bring them into their own land. And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel, and one king shall be king to them all, and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all” (Ezck. xxxvii, 21, 22). We shall see as we go on in our stud-* ies that the revolting tribes grew worse and worse, wandering farther and farther from God until after more than 200 years of God’s forbearance with them their iniquity came to a head and they went into captivity, from which they have not yet returned. Yet it is written, “Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off and say. He that scattered Israel will gather him and keep him as a shepherd doth his flock” (Jerxxxi, 10). A portion of the kingdom was left with Rehoboam, not for bis sake nor for Solomon’s sake, but, as the Lord said, “For David my servant’s sake and for Jerusalem’s sake, which I have chosen; * * * that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my uame there” (xi, 13. 32, 3G). When He shall restore and save Israel and make her the head of all nations upon earth it will not be for Israel's sake, but for His own holy name’s sake (Ez. xxxvi, 22). There are comparatively few among believers today who really believe the plain words of prophecy we have quot- . ed, but the majority turn away from , the word of God to the opinions of ; men. They know not the thoughts of the Lord, neither understand they His ' counsel (Mic. iv, 12). Will it not be worse for them than for unbelieving Israel, for our light is so much greater than Israel’s? In Israel’s darkest days* there were such as Ahijah and Sbema- , iah (xi, 29; xii,, 22), and when Elijah thought that he stood alone the Lord had 7,000.
