2 Chronicles 12
1.Rehoboam, forsaking the Lord, is punished by Shishak
5.He and the princes, repenting at the preaching of Shemaiah,
7.are delivered from destruction, but not from spoil
13.The reign and death of Rehoboam














After Rehoboam had established his sovereignty and royal power
Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, became king of Judah after Solomon's death. His reign marked the beginning of the divided kingdom, with Jeroboam ruling over the northern tribes of Israel. Rehoboam's sovereignty was established after a tumultuous start, including the revolt of the northern tribes. The term "established" indicates a period of consolidation and stability in his rule, suggesting that he had secured his position and authority over Judah. This period of stability might have led to complacency, as often seen in biblical narratives where leaders turn away from God after achieving power.

he and all Israel with him forsook the Law of the LORD
The phrase "forsook the Law of the LORD" indicates a deliberate turning away from the commandments and statutes given by God to Israel. This forsaking is not just a personal failing of Rehoboam but involves "all Israel with him," suggesting a national apostasy. The Law of the LORD refers to the Mosaic Law, which was central to Israel's covenant relationship with God. This forsaking would have included neglecting the worship of Yahweh, possibly turning to idolatry, and failing to uphold justice and righteousness as prescribed in the Law. This act of forsaking is a recurring theme in the history of Israel and Judah, often leading to divine judgment. It also highlights the importance of leadership in guiding the spiritual direction of a nation. The forsaking of the Law contrasts with the ideal kingship exemplified by David, who, despite his failings, sought to follow God's commandments.

Persons / Places / Events
1.Rehoboam
The son of Solomon and king of Judah, Rehoboam's reign is marked by a division of the kingdom and spiritual decline.

2.Israel
Refers to the people of the united kingdom under David and Solomon, but here it specifically refers to the southern kingdom of Judah under Rehoboam's rule.

3.Forsaking the Law
This event marks a turning point where Rehoboam and the people of Judah abandon the commandments and statutes given by God, leading to spiritual and national consequences.
Teaching Points
The Danger of Complacency
Once Rehoboam felt secure, he turned away from God. We must guard against spiritual complacency, especially in times of prosperity.

Leadership and Influence
As a leader, Rehoboam's actions influenced the entire nation. Our actions, especially as leaders, have a ripple effect on those around us.

The Importance of Obedience
Forsaking God's law leads to negative consequences. Obedience to God's Word is crucial for personal and communal well-being.

The Role of Community
The collective turning away from God by "all Israel" shows the power of community influence, for better or worse. We should strive to be part of communities that encourage faithfulness to God.

What Does 2 Chronicles 12:1 Mean
After Rehoboam had established his sovereignty

• God Himself had granted Rehoboam a season of stability—“They strengthened the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam…for three years” (2 Chronicles 11:17).

• Fortified cities (2 Chronicles 11:5-12) and a loyal priesthood (2 Chronicles 11:13-17) showed divine favor, echoing the truth that “He removes kings and establishes them” (Daniel 2:21).

• Yet prosperity can test the heart; Moses warned, “When you have eaten and are satisfied…do not forget the LORD your God” (Deuteronomy 8:10-14).

and royal power

• “Royal power” points to military strength and wealth (2 Chronicles 11:12, 23).

• Kings were to wield authority under Scripture (Deuteronomy 17:18-20); Rehoboam’s mandate was service, not self-promotion.

• Pride often follows power: “Pride goes before destruction” (Proverbs 16:18). Solomon’s earlier rise and fall illustrate the same danger (1 Kings 11:4).

he and all Israel with him

• Leadership sets the spiritual climate—“If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked” (Proverbs 29:12).

• The nation mirrored its king; Hosea later observed, “Like people, like priest; I will punish both” (Hosea 4:9).

• Collective drift repeats the Judges cycle—“Everyone did what was right in his own eyes” (Judges 21:25).

forsook the Law of the LORD

• “Forsook” is deliberate abandonment, not mere neglect; “My people have forsaken Me, the fountain of living water” (Jeremiah 2:13).

• The Law was the covenant’s core (Deuteronomy 4:5-9). Rejecting it equals rejecting the LORD Himself (1 Samuel 12:15).

• Consequence was swift: “Because they had been unfaithful to the LORD, Shishak king of Egypt came up” (2 Chronicles 12:2). God disciplines those He loves (Hebrews 12:5-6).

• Even so, mercy remained: when Rehoboam humbled himself, “the wrath of the LORD turned from him” (2 Chronicles 12:12; cf.2 Chronicles 7:14).

summary

Rehoboam’s early success was God-given, yet comfort bred complacency. Power without submission led both king and nation to abandon Scripture, inviting divine discipline. The verse warns that prosperity is safest when anchored to obedience, and it reassures that humble repentance can still reverse judgment.

(1)When Rehoboam had established thekingdom.--Rather,when Rehoboam's kingdom had been established. The construction is impersonal:when one had established Rehoboam's kingdom. The narrative is resumed from2Chronicles 11:17.

Andhad strengthened himself.--And when he had become strong (hezq?h, an infinitive, used again at2Chronicles 26:16;Daniel 11:2, and nowhere else).

He forsook the law of the Lord--i.e., lapsed into idolatry. (See1Kings 14:22-24, where the offence is more precisely described.)

All Israel.--The southern kingdom being regarded as the true Israel. (Comp.2Chronicles 12:6.) . . .

Verse 1. -When Rehoboam had established the kingdom... strengthened himself;i.e. while insecure and full of apprehensions, Rehoboam walked humbly and surely, but when he thought his object, simplysafety, was gained, his true and worse self appeared or reappeared, and, clothed with self-confidence, he forsakes the "Law," to bring sure retribution on himself. All Israel with him. When we turn to the fuller statements of the parallel (1 Kings 14:22-24), we see that the sins that were at work were not those of king merely, but of people, especially in abominations such as those of sodomy and the immoral practices of the "groves," as well as the ecclesiastical and irreligious iniquities of "high places" and "image" worship!
