14:17-20
Jeroboam’s wife went home and the son died as foretold, he was buried and mourned for. Jeroboam reigned for twenty two years and was succeeded by his son Nadab.
14:21-24
Attention now returns to Rehoboam, who was king in Judah, he reigned for seventeen years in Judah. His mother was an Ammonite. He was not a good king, for “Judah did evil in the eyes of the Lord. Something may be fine in man’s eyes but if it is not fine in god’s eyes we are in trouble. They were heavily into idolatry, setting up many high places and asherah poles. There were male prostitutes in the land, and the nation became just like the nations, who had been driven out. So Judah would also be driven out.. Being “like the nations” is nor what we are meant to be.
