1 Kings chapter 12 is the chapter in which, after Solomon’s fall, the nation of Israel is actually torn apart. Rehoboam succeeded to the throne, but what he inherited was not the kingship alone. He inherited together the heavy yoke Solomon had left on the people, the results of fleshly rule, and even the current of sin that had left God. Therefore this chapter is not only the story of a political division; it shows how a heart that does not enthrone God as King tears down a community.
