Important leaders have come and gone for thousands of years, and God has seen them all. True greatness does not come through political, social, or economic power, true greatness comes from aligning yourself with God. This is a lesson that Rehoboam was forced to learn. As Solomon’s son,
Rehoboam seems to have had a chip on his shoulder. As a result, his nation divided, and he was able to reign over only two tribes of twelve. Even still, Rehoboam lived in the capital city of Jerusalem with its famed Temple. What is fascinating to me is that God set Rehoboam up to face the wrath of the Pharaoh of Egypt, Shishak. Shishak marched through Judah, conquered Jerusalem, and raided both the king’s house and the house of the LORD. The magnificent Temple of Solomon was stripped of its wealth immediately after the time of Solomon. To add insult to injury, Rehoboam was forced to pay yearly tribute to Egypt – a severe humbling indeed. God was showing Rehoboam that it wasn’t about the silver, the gold, the greatness of man. God was still in Judah, even though the wealth of
Solomon was gone. God’s presence isn’t dependent on man’s economy.

The short reign of King Ahaziah of Judah was a mess. Ahaziah ruled over Judah for one year, and he was evil in the sight of God. Ahaziah was the second king of that name, so we’ll call him Ahaziah II. His uncle was the first Ahaziah and was king of northern Israel. Both Ahaziahs were

Uzziah; 2 Chronicles 25-28
Uzziah was also known as Azariah (SEE 2 KINGS 1 4 : 2 1 ). When Uzziah was just sixteen the people of Judah made him king instead of his father Amaziah. The Bible says that Uzziah did what was right in the sight of the LORD, and that he pursued God in the days of Zechariah. He had a long reign of...
