Transliteration: Rhoboam
Pronunciation: hro-bo-AM
Phonetic Spelling: (hrob-o-am')
Definition: Rehoboam
Meaning: Rehoboam, son of Solomon, and King of Israel.

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew רְחַבְעָם (Rechav'am)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H7346 (רְחַבְעָם, Rechav'am)

Usage: Rehoboam is a proper noun used to refer to the son of Solomon and the first king of the southern kingdom of Judah after the united monarchy of Israel split. His name is often associated with the division of the kingdom due to his harsh policies and refusal to listen to wise counsel.

Cultural and Historical Background: Rehoboam was the son of King Solomon and grandson of King David. His reign marks a significant turning point in Israel's history, as it was during his rule that the united kingdom of Israel split into two: the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. This division was largely due to Rehoboam's decision to increase the burdens on the people, leading to the revolt of the northern tribes under Jeroboam. Rehoboam's account is a cautionary tale about the importance of wise leadership and the consequences of ignoring sound advice.
