This episode of Wifey Wednesdays continues in the life of King Jeroboam, the first king of the northern tribe of Israel after the great divide.

Unfortunately, Jeroboam continues down the path of following his own desires instead of following God, and this episode explores the message he is given from God’s prophet Ahijah. This news is going to be awful and affect everyone in Jeroboam’s family. And while it is often more palatable to learn the positive lessons we can learn from positive examples, this account helps us to appreciate the severity of God and the holiness and sovereignty He shows in the life of this rebellious king.
