In this lesson we learn how king Rehoboam took counsel from two, opposing parties, the counselors his father Solomon had, and from his own friends. Reading 1 Kings 12 we soon learn two major things. One, who told the truth and who lied, and second the two attitudes concerning governing people. Then we read on into chapter 13 and learn of another liar that caused the death of a man of God. We must decide are we going to listen to man, or God? Are we focused on physical, or spiritual things.
