1 Kings 12:15 (New Living Translation)
So the king paid no attention to the people…
Ooooops. This (hi)story doesn’t start well. And it doesn’t end well either. The king in this verse if Rehoboam. His rival is Jeroboam. The result was the ten northern tribes breaking away from the two southern tribes. The result was centuries of disobedience and the suffering that comes with disobedience.
All because the king didn’t pay attention to the people.
Yes, the lesson applies today as well.
