THE TRAGEDY OF THE
NORTHERN KINGDOM
LESSON TEXT—I King* 12:26-30; 19:1-4,
13b-18; II Klngt 17:7. 8.
GOLDEN TEXT-O magnify the Lord with
me, and let us exalt Hla name together.—
Psalm 34:3.
Nations as well as people come
to crossroads in their history, and
taking the wrong road then means
future disaster. Solomon had built
j up a great national prosperity, but
I at the expense of heavy taxes. He
j had forgotten God, and was suc
i cceded by a son who followed in his
footsteps.
Offered an opportunity to ease the
burden of the people (I Kings 12-14),
Rehoboam in his folly made it great
er, and the nation vas divided. The
ten northern tribes, which were
henceforth to be known as Israel,
followed Jeroboam, and the two
southern tribes under Rehoboam be
came the kingdom of Judah.
Jeroboam started with God’s
favor, and might have led his people
aright, but instead he became the
king whose name stood for wicked
ness (see II Kings 15:18). The story
of that downfall is a sad picture of
unbelief and failure.
I. Religion Meets Politics (I
Kings 12:26-30).
Jerusalem, now in the rival king
dom of Judah, was the center of
Hebrew worship. While the people
of Israel were free to go there
to worship, Jeroboam saw that it
might lead to their being led away
from him. It was a shrewd political
deduction, but it left God out of the
picture.
He established new centers of
worship, where calves of gold were
set up. They were probably in
tended to be a symbol of God, but
they bespeak the folly of mixing
worldly things with the things of
God. They become an abomination
| and a snare.
The people responded to the ap
parent interest of the king in their
welfare, and worshiped at the most
convenient place. Religion had met
politics, and had let politics take the
upper hand.
Someone has suggested that
when we begin to find ways to make
our religion easy, wo can be cer
tain that it is the enemy of our
souls who is at work. When Satan
begins to be solicitous about our
welfare and suggest that it is too
far to go to church, or that the
weather is too cold (or too warm),
etc., we should be on guard.
Religious ease was a big step
downward for Israel, and it can bo
for any other nation. Where does
America stand in that important
matter?
11. A Queen Meets a Prophet (I
Kings 19:1-4, 13b-18).
Elijah under the mighty hand of
God had defied the wicked king,
Ahab, and his more wicked queen,
Jezebel; yes, and all the prophets
of Baal, and had been gloriously
victorious (I Kings 18:17-41).
The queen, who was devilish in
her wickedness and determination
to destroy the worship of the true
God, threatened the prophet. Ho
who had met the challenge of the
hundreds of prophets (led in fear
before the relentless hatred of this
venomous woman.
Tlie prophet felt that all was lost,
but God revealed to him that even
in that dark day there were many
who were still true to Him (v. 18).
It is a precious, and encouraging bit
of light in an otherwise dark scene.
Our main interest in this lesson is
not the experience of the prophet,
but in seeing the cause of Israel's
downfall. Here we see one great
reason—every king of Israel was a
wicked man. Some were better and
some worse, but all of them forgot
God.
A nation is on the downward path
when its rulers forget God. What
about our own nation? What about
j the elected representatives of the
people? Do we choose men for pub
lic office because of their Christian
faith and character, or on the
basis of political expediency or af
filiation?
111. A Nation Meets Its Doom (II
Kings 17:7, 8).
The hour had struck when God’s
heavy hand of judgment had to fall
on Israel, the northern kingdom of
10 tribes. Verse 6 of this chapter
relates their carrying away into cap
tivity to Assyria, and verses 7-9 tell
us the reason for that judgment.
Ingratitude for God’s blessing (v.
7) led to the worship of other
gods (v. 8). They knew God’s hatred
ior the sin of idolatry, and His
judgment upon those who walked
! in that way, but they went right
I on.
I Note in verse 9 that these things
| were done “secretly." “The same
j thing is true today of many who
j profess to be the people of God. The
line of demarcation between the
church and the world is not clearly
drawn. We do well to note care
fully the outcome of this course of
procedure on Israel’s part (vv. 6,
18). The fact that Israel did these
things secretly did not hide them
from the eyes of Jehovah (Ps, 139:
i 1,2; Heb. 4:13)” (John W. Brad
bury).
