Teaching Points Divine Appointment and ResponsibilityGod raises leaders for His purposes, but with leadership comes the responsibility to lead according to His will. Jeroboam's failure serves as a warning against deviating from God's commands. Consequences of Disobedience Jeroboam's account illustrates the severe consequences of leading others into sin. Leaders are accountable not only for their actions but also for the spiritual direction they set for others. The Importance of Faithfulness Despite being chosen by God, Jeroboam's unfaithfulness led to his downfall. This highlights the importance of remaining faithful to God's covenant and commands. God's Sovereignty and Justice God's message through Ahijah underscores His sovereignty in appointing leaders and His justice in dealing with disobedience.

How can this narrative be reconciled with other biblical or historical records that appear to contradict 1 Kings 14? What was Jeroboam's sin in biblical history?(7, 8) I exalted thee.--There is throughout a close allusion to Ahijah's prophecy (1Kings 11:31; 1Kings 11:37-38), which promised Jeroboam "a sure house, like that of David," on condition of the obedience of David. The sin of Jeroboam lay in this--that he had had a full probation, with unlimited opportunities, and had deliberately thrown it away, in the vain hope of making surer the kingdom which God's promise had already made sure. The lesson is, indeed, a general one. The resolution to succeed at all hazards, striking out new ways, with no respect for time-honoured laws and principles, is in all revolutions the secret of immediate success and ultimate disaster. But in the Scripture history, here as elsewhere, we are permitted to see the working of God's moral government of the world, unveiled in the inspired declarations of His prophetic messenger.Verse 7. - Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the Lord Cod of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people [compare 2 Samuel 12:8; Psalm 78:70; 1 Kings 16:2], and made thee prince over my people Israel.
