THE INTERNATIONAL
SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON
FOR JULY 3.1904.
STUDIES IN~THE OLP TESTAMENT?
SUBJECT : The Kingdom Divided?I Kings 12 s 12-20,
GOLDEN TE3?.?? Prido gooth boforo destruction, and a
haughty spirit before a fall?Proverbs 16 ! 18.
By Rev. J. m. Gilbert, D. D., Secretary Amorican Society of Religious Education.
INTRODUCTION.?Tho dlsmomlinrmont of
thn Hebrew monarchy, H, C!. 070, ono hundred
nnd twenty years uftor the foundation, wait
not tho result of tiny sudden outburst of
passion, What appeared In to-day's lesson ne
tlio causo, wns In 1'eality but tho occasion.
Tho tribe of Judali and thu doublo .tritio of
Joseph (l-'phrnlm and Mnnassohl, whose pro*
gnnltors ?vero specially favored In tho blessing
(Golii xllx*. S-.12, 22-25). woro most numerous,
and, therefore, most powerful of all tho twelve
trlbon. Judah numbered Bovonty-Blx thousand,
and JoSoph elghty-flvo thousand. In tho con?
quest of Canaan, Judah headed tho column
(1 Chron, v. ;2), but Joseph's sons claimed
hinter posessloiis In tho land. Besides thero
was a marked difference In character. Honco
thero was tho germ of dualism In tho nation.
After Saul's death thn two tribes formally
separated under two kings (II Kam. Illl-ll),
hut after seven years tho revolted tribes re?
turned to Judah, And this wns a proof that
thn kingly prerogative conili bo obtained only
by tho suffrages of tho sovereign peoplo. lt
may bo that, tho splendor of David's ruin
aroused loeal prejudices and strengthened tha
uplrlt of opposition.
HBHELIJON.?Upon tho rtent,h of his father,
Hohobonm repaired to Shechem, where Israel
nssomhloil to mnko him king, (Verso 1.) That
ancient City, about which clustered many
memories, was a favorable placo for this pur?
pose. Situated In thn trlbn ot Ephrlarn, It luid j
been from tho days ot tho conquest, (Josh,
xxlv:l-2*>), the center ot union. Doubtless It.
was hoped thoro to conciliato tho northern
tribes who woro roKtloss under thc burdens of
?Solomon's rolgn, and who now ?interininoli to
Benino a promise of relief beforo Installing the
?on. Jeroboam appeared as their leader and
advocate. -He had been In tho service of
Solomon, and the prophet had predicted bis
olnvatlnn to the throne. (I. Kings xl ?SB-ill).
Compelled to fleo for safely to Egypt, ho luid
received many favors, ami IiIb return wns
most opportuno at that critical timo. ?,????
boiim Bhowod that thera was no hopo of ro?
form under tlio now administration, and with
ono volcn, tho leu tribes refused to accept
him?refused tho allegiance which eighty years
beforo tholr fathers had gladly presented to
his Illustrons grandfather, til, Ham. Vil). They
declared that thoy had no inheritance In
David. Thn call went forth to tho peoplo to
return to tholr homes, und the Bon of Davhl ?
wos told to look to his own affairs. (Verse l?). i
BOUNDARIES..?Thus in a elnglo day a now .
nation waa established, to be known after?
wards as Tsraol. It embraced tlio people anil
territory of Ashor, Nuphtall, Z?bulon, Issn
cliar, Ephraim, Monnssah, east and west:
Dan, Gad and Reuben. It. lay on both sides
of tho Jordan, from tho Mediterranean on the
west, to an Irregular line dividing lt from
.Syria on Iho east, while at tho north It
reached within a few miles of Damascus.
What romalnod of tho empire of David nnd
Solomon lay to tho south, a territory not moro ?
than half tho area of tho other, bounded on !
the eaat by tho Dead Sea and on tho west by
tho Mediterranean, but moro populous and
wealthy. This kingdom wna called Judah. Its
southern limits wore lost In tho sand of
Arabia, hard on toward Egypt. The kingdom
of Judah ivas composod ot threo tribes, or
rather two, Judah and Simon, Inasmuch as
little Benjamin, after Saul's death, ivas grad?
ually morgod Into Judah, losing all tribal gov?
ernment. Two initions, descendants of Abra?
ham, established in the land, promised aa
thn home of the chosen people, thn one at tho
north with Its mountains nnd lakes, the other
nt the south with Its fertile valleys and beau?
tiful cities?so begins a new period In sacred
history, tho unfoldlngs and outcome of which
roveal the ultimate purpose of Clod. (Verso 17.)
HOMICIDE.-?-Tho rejection by the tnn tribes
left tlio ? two trlbea as thc only subject? ot
Ttehobonm. Wo aro not informed where or
when or by whnt ceremonies thoy recognized
their king. But bofore leaving Shechem, which
was In rebol territory, he determined upon
nn exercise of authority,? perhaps to test tho
spirit .of tho people. He nc-nt out Adorami
who wna over the tribute, demanding the pay?
ment ot taxes, a custom common In eastern
countries, ?is a mark of loynlty to tho new
monarch. Tills act was ono of supremo folly.
The subject ot taxation had been discussed;
cnuslng a breach, and ought not to have been
mentioned again until time should allay tho
excitement and 111 feeling. Besides, tho man
sent to collect hnd been charged with that
business under David. (G?. Sain. xx:2t), and
Solomon (I. Kings lv:6), so that his presene?
would exasperate nil who Baw him. It Is
not surprising, therefore, that ? he was
?toned to death. (Verso IS) with com
mendablo prudence Rohoboam hastened to
J?rusalem, tho rightful sent of hi? govern?
ment, the only placo of personal security.
CORONATION.?It would seem that after
-tho events Just narrated?the rejection of
Rohoboam by tho elders of tho ten tribes at
Shechem, tho murderer of Adorata, tho tax
gatherer, tho flight of Rehoboam?every one
returned to his home. What had happened
was announced to all Israel. It thus became
known to* the grent body of the people that
Jeroboam Inni returned from Egypt, and Im?
mediately there began a popular movement In
bis behalf. As by one voice ho waB called
from tils retirement ami chosen to bo king
of tho new nation, (Verso 20.) Tho rebele tini?
formally set up a government of their own
under a man who belonged to them, who hud
shpwn his Interest In them, who hnd demon?
strated his abili tie? by his service under Solo?
mon, who had beon wronged and made a
fugitive: who hnd hoen declared by prophecy
as the first occupant of thn new throne. Jero?
boam had no claim?ho was of royal descent.
But ho camo to power by thn will ot thn
people. Tho government established was a klml
of democracy In spirit, lllustratlag at least
ono principle of the Amorlean Declaration of
Independence.
SUBJUGATION'.? Tho ten tribes evidently
believed thnt. thoy had a right to retire from
a contract Into whii'h they had voluntarily
entered. Tho |x\wer u> make wan supposed to
Involve tho right to appeal. (II. Sam. v:ll.
But Rohoboam considered that during thn two
previous reigns the common treasure and blood
of tho monarchy had been so expended for tho
d?fense and prosperity of thn wholo land that
nono worn nt Ubort.y to withdraw. Ho may
have thought, moreover, thn ? ho had a divino
right, and hence a duty to defend his right.
Ho determined to subdue tha rebels. One hun?
dred and eighty thousand warriors wero as?
sembled', Ihn wholo fighting forco boing three
timos that number, as against eight hundred
thousand In Israel, (II. Sam. xxlv:9). It Is im?
possible to say how tho king expected to
overcome such a vastly ?uperlor number, for
Judah was no match for Israel, it may be
Hint lie rolled upon the ntrengtll of his gov?
ernment, which waa well established1 whllo
that of Jeroboiih was lately formoli, Or It may
bo that ho deemed his army to lio morn
valiant, or considered that It wiih better
equipped, But It la most probobl?, that this
was only another. Indeed, tho third proof of
Rohoboam'S folly, un evidence of his woak
lll'SS.
INTERVENTION. --"Thorn Is ? Just Ood
who presldos over tho destinies of tuitions."
Hi* ?iiHtetli ?lown ono and settnth up another,
ami turns and overturns for the u.ccmpil!-tf
tneni of IHh purpose, (I'sahns lxxv:7.) Tino
human pride ami ambition miter in to shape
the course of ovents, but tho Almighty over?
rules to bring to ????? what 1? pleasing to
H Im. Civil society Ih subject to many changes,
hut the Lord's will la Immutatilo. Ho hnd
determined to divide tho kingdom nn a pun?
ishment and restraint upon tho posterity of
Solomon. (I, Kings xl:l1). Jeroboam was Cod's
BOrVftnt, nun?,uncoil 111 n.lvnnce, raised and
qualified for tho hour. Tho preparations for
war In Juduh woro contrary to Cod's purpose
and plan. A me^sago to that effect wus given
to Sborniila!!, tho man or Cod (verse 22),
and ho hastened to deliver It to Itihoboitm
(verso 2.1) nnd tho nation, The word was
mandatory, ordering tho warriors to disperso
to tholr homes, dcmnndlng a cessation of all
preparation for war. And for ones a foolish
king became wise*. Ho bowed submissively to
the word of tho u.rd. t??, independence of
lsra.-l was recognized without tho shedding of
blood. (Vorso V4).
STHONOHOLDS.? The wnr cloud? having
been scattered, Jeroboam addressed himself
to the tiitk of organizing his government and
providing for th>. public, ?kfensn. In this hfl
displayed ability os a statesman and a mili?
tary leader, Thn kingdom ?vu? in two parts,
and hfl recognized the necessity of meeting
Hu* noods of both sections, so as to preservo
unity. establishing his capital at .Shechem,
ho fortin??.! Du? oily so that ll might not only
resist attack, hu' command the region around
It. In ihl? way ull west of Hie Jordan, where
wer? ?even tribes, was made scour?. This done,
hu crossed over the Jordan, und fortified
I'mni.l on the Hiver Jubbok. In tho tribe of
?lad, as tho center of ll*,? three trlbi's In that
region. remiel was tini senno of Jacol)'?
wr.-MlIng (On,. xxxll:5|..r.'), showing that It
was on the route ?if the great caravan from
Damascus lo Egypt. Ci.l.'on visited th.. place,
Showing that It was nn Important strategia
point, 'J'*1? vlil:l7.) lly these two ?Ittes. with
their military stores. Jeroboam felt himself
able to retain thu confidence of his people und
to defend them ogalnrt Syrians, J?ws and all
oiler |,,|'e|gn?TS.
CONCLUSION.- l**rom a human standpoint
till? revolution was a moti deplorable event.
People o? one blood, one lunguuge, ono reli?
gion, a cornino!) origin und destiny, were
mi,1,1,nly divided Into two nations, lying siilo
by side, subjected afterward to Jealousy, .its
cord und fraternal wnr. Oppressed Ixfoio with
ih? ?????!?!) of government, tho support of
armies, the ejtctlou of public buildings, they
must afterward bear double burden. Able for
hourly a contury to rnslet all otinronoliinnrit
from without, they wero enfeebled by their
division, minio lielplese before the hoatheu,
ami rirnrlh- cnrrlotl Into captivity. But It woe
tlio Lord's doing. Ilo saw thnt a growing
fttate, ruled by a lino ot wicked kings, wo?ild
bo an obstado In KIh enusn. Ho could uno tho
divided kingdom each part to watch and
elinstliio the othor. Ho would ovon work
through Ida scatterod pooplo In dlataut landa
to dlHiiemlnate a knowledge of tho truo Clod.
Ho could bo weaken tho civil' power as to
oxalt the religious teacher, nnd tnnko thu
prophet conspicuous, Ho could gradually trim
olT tho dead branches and leave at last one
tribe, through which Immanuel Blioulil come to
gather the people of lho truth. He can work
with ono nation, or two, or without either.

TALK BRYAN
NO LONGER
Nebraskan Overshadowed by
Old-Time and Newly-Mado
Enemies.
A POLITICAL REVOLUTION
Sentiment Strong for Nominee
Who Has Sound Finan?
cial Views.
The persistent and steady rising of the
Cleveland tide on the eve of the assem?
bling of the Bt. Louis convention Is re?
garded here as ono of tho most remark?
able developments In national politics ln
many years, and what makes It even
more so is tho fact that many of tho
former President's erstwhile strong eno
mles are now loudly singing Jits praises.
Time vraa when the "Sago of Prince?
ton" .%as cordially hated out In tho rural
districts, but the enthusiasm behind bis
boom Is reaching everywhere, nnd whilo
many do not advocate his causo, none
would be surprised should he bo tho nomi?
nee of next week's bis convention.
Bryan Talk Lost.
Another remarkable, thing about the
campaign Is the fact that no candidate
Is seriously talked of, save those who In ;
1S96 held to the Clevolancl vlow on tlio
currency question.
One hears the names of Cleveland,
Gray and Olney a hundred times where
Bryan or Hearst nro mentioned onci.?,
and It is evident that tho trend of publlo
sentiment Is far away from tho Iti to 1
Idea, which held? tho South In its ?rasp
for so many years under the leadership ?
of the brilliant Nebraska orator.
Senator Julian Bryant, of Henrlco Is
one of those who bel Id ves tho convention
should nominate Judge George Gray, nf

come from the middle or far West.

and when ho was confronted with the
charge, he said he was familiar with this

be sent on.
Tho next case was that of a bad check
