The king paid no attention to the people - 2 Chronicles 10:35
Rehoboam (King Solomon's son) paid no attention to the people God had put in his life to direct and guide him
Their advice: "Lighten up on the people or there is going to be trouble"
Instead of heeding and applying this counsel, Rehoboam sought out younger, less experienced men to be his advisors
The king appointed advisors told him to tell the people "If you think my father was tough, just wait"
This resulted in all-out hostility between the northern and southern parts of Israel
What experienced and proven couselors do you have in your life? Do you listen to them? Do you prefer their counsel?
Key Phrase: Instead of heeding and applying this counsel, Rehoboam sought out younger, less experienced men to be his advisors
