probably to block any hanking movement that reho boam might undertake and de- lend his transjordan territory next we have the two loca tions at which jeroboam set up the calves of gold beihel and dan bethel had associa tions with their father jacob and would appeal to the people as a sacred site besides it was at the southern extremity of ids kingdom right on the bor der of benjamin it would be an excellent spot at which weary travelers to jerusalem would be induced to go no farther dan was near the nor thern extremity and would serve the northern section ad mirably even in the days of the judges it had become a center of worship of a kind with a priesthood finally we have the kings i esidence tirzah true he lived first at sheehem but soon moved his capital several miles north the narrow defile in which sheehem was situated was hardly a suitable place from a military standpoint the situation was beautiful and not so easily sealed by en emy forces our lesson does not include chapter 13 but this ought not to be neglected it is one of the strangest and saddest stories in the old testament and car ries some solemn lessons for the child of god especially this that when god speaks we should 6bey and not listen to false prophets who pretend to have special revelations why was a prophet imported from judah to rebuke jero boam for his sin 131 why did not ahijah who revealed to jeroboam the fact that he was to be king and who lived in shiloh in the territory of bphraim cry out against the evil we do not know and we must not jump to conclusions certainly ahijah was faithful in rebuke in the incident which constitutes our lesson verse by verse 1 kings 115 behold the wife of jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son she shall feign her self to be another the b 1 i n d n e s s of ahijah v 1 would have made him like isaac gen 27 an easy victim of david despite davids ad herence to the law of the lord 1 nw could jeroboam expect to retain it in face of his rebel lion verse 9 for thou has gone and made thee other gods and hast cast me behind thy back jeroboam is accused of going further in iniquity than either solomon or reho boam however much he might have passed oil the golden calves as simply symbols of the true cod of israel god de nounced it as idolatry the lin ages were other gods verse 10 i will bring evil upon the house of jeroboam the house of jeroboam was therefore to be reduced to a state of refuse and utterly cast out verse 11 him that clieth in the city shall the dogs eat and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls eat the house of jeroboam was the first of several northern royal houses to have this curse laid upon them 104 2121 verse 12 get thee to thine own liouse and when thy feet enter into the city the child shall die a hard com mand if she believed that what the prophet said would come to pass perhaps she took ref uge in unbelief but that was poor refuge verse ts he only of jeroboam shall come to the grave because in him there is found some good thing toward the lord the son taken was the best of the family perhaps god took him for his own salvation what godliness he had exempted him from the contemptible end of the others of the family verse 14 the lord shall raise him up a king who shall cut off the house of jero boam see 152 even wicked kings are raised up by the lord in order to fulfill his purposes of judgment in the earth verse 15 for the lord shall smite israel and shall scatter them beyond the river xot only was the house of jeroboam to perish but the kingdom which ho had estab lished was to perish also here is the first specific prophecy of israels captivity as apart from warnings to the whole nation for fulfillment see 2 kings 17 verse 16 and he sh gi lsrael up because o the sins of jeroboam the judg ment indicted nearly two cen turies later was nevertheless traceable to the sins of israels first king jeroboam sin and righteousness alike have a long reach the heart of the lesson why did not jeroboam go himself to the prophet when his son was sick surely that was a time for the mother to be on hand tending the sick boy rather than going on a journey was he ashamed and afraid to go himself he prob ably was no more anxious to see ahijah than ahab was to see elijah at a later date his actions were not such as would make him comfortable in the presence of the lords pro phet he had not obeyed the commandments of the lord as ahijah had exhorted him to do 113s instead he had fol- owed a policy of political ex pediency even when it meant banishing the lord god from the realm as is being done too much today under cover of the first amendment and the prin ciple of the separation of church and state xow if with the hand of the lord heavy upon him jero boam had been ready to con fess and forsake his sin he woidd gladly have gone to the prophet seeking mercy of the lord but wanting repentance he was both ashamed and af raid and had his wife go for him how conscience does make cowards of us all but why clid the queen go disguised that it was not sim ply to hide her identity from the common people is clear from verse 5 apparently she shared her husbands attitude to the prophet because she shared he r husbands sins why feignest thou thyself to be another the prophet ask ed it is a question that needs to be put to every sinner for if there is one thing that the sinner is unwilling to do it is to appear before god for what he is how we cover ourselves with excuses with selfright eousness with selfjustications with rationalizations anything rather than admit what we are but it is not until we drop our disguises and our pretenses and confess our own proper name before god as jacob did at jabbok that the blessing of god can be ours whether the blessing or salvation or the further blessings of chrisian experience heavy tidings al ways await the hypocrite and the pretender but the soul that freely confesses its lost estate before god will hear the words of life eternal the sin of king jeroboam cost him tihe life of the only one in his family that had any good in him v 13 it robbed his children of their royal heri tage and condemned them to a miserable end vs 10 11 it gave a set to his kingdom that doomed it to utter and permanent overthrow vs 15 16 how costly is sin no won der it requires nothing short of the blood of christ to
