Episode 32 - Rehoboam and Jeroboam: Two Rotten Peas in a Pod (Part 1)

Jul 6

In this week's episode, we're learning about two infamous Israelite kings: Rehoboam and Jeroboam, the first kings of Judah and Israel.

Hello everyone and welcome back to a brand-new episode of The Bible You Thought You Knew.

As always, today, I will be discussing and analyzing a Bible story.

In the last few episodes, I discussed the life and death of a mostly-forgotten Israelite king, King Josiah.

Today, I'm keeping up with that theme! I will be talking about two infamous Israelites kings: Rehoboam and Jeroboam.

You might not have heard of them, but both Rehoboam and Jeroboam were kings of different parts of Israel after the Schism.

In fact, they were Judah's and Israel's first kings.

Curious to know what makes their story special? Give this episode a listen!
