1. King Jeroboam’s attempts to deceive God’s prophet exposed the apostate condition of his heart, ultimately bringing divine judgment upon his whole family—“But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you” Deuteronomy 28:15

2. King Rehoboam’s embrace of foreign gods and pagan practices resulted in painful discipline for the entire kingdom of Judah—“If you will not hear, And if you will not take it to heart, To give glory to My name,” Says the LORD of hosts, “I will send a curse upon you, And I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already, Because you do not take it to heart.” Malachi 2:2
