THE ORIGIN STORY OF JESUS
Part 48: The Kings of Judah
(Rehoboam) |
|
|
Rehoboam was the spoiled son of Solomon and the
grandson of David. He desired many women and this is why he married
18 women and took 60 concubines, netting him 28 sons and 60
daughters. As the children grew up, he put them in charge of cities
throughout Judah to ensure that the family maintained a firm grip on
the southern kingdom. He embraced idolatry and allowed homosexual
deviancy to flourish, bringing the judgment of God upon Judah in the
form of an invasion by Pharaoh Shishak of Egypt. Most of the cities
in Judah were conquered before Rehoboam came to his senses and
realized that repentance was the only recourse before he lost
everything. Nevertheless, Jesus allowed the temple and treasury in
Jerusalem to be plundered by Shishak because of Rehoboam’s sins.
There was also perpetual war with King Jeroboam of Israel to the
north. Rehoboam’s 17-year evil reign was marked by fornication,
idolatry, homosexuality and war. |
