DESCRIPTION:
Jeremiah, the author of this book, teaches us that King Rehoboam, Solomon's son and David's grandson, chose to follow his own path instead of the one God had for him. He refused to listen to his elders or to his peers. He—like so many of us—even refused to follow the Lord's man of God. King Rehoboam had to learn the hard way the importance of following God's will for his life and the life and wellbeing of the people of his kingdom.
