1 Kings 12. The northern tribes revolt. Rehoboam made king

(Show chapter frame)

1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king. 2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;) 3 That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying, 4 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee. 5 And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed. 6 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people? 7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever. 8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him: 9 And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter? 10 And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s loins. 11 And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day. 13 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men’s counsel that they gave him; 14 And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 15 Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

16 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents. 17 But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 18 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. 19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day. 20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only. 21 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon. 22 But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying, 23 Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying, 24 Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.

25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel. 26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David: 27 If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah. 28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan. 30 And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. 31 And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi. 32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made. 33 So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.

  1. The Brit cut at Sinai through the נעשה ונשמע Torah oath: Torah a life/death-blessing\curse definition.

    G’lut cursed Judaism, meaning impossible for ‘Egyptian slave Jews’, to pursue judicial Capital Crimes justice in g’lut. Proof that cursed g’lut Jews cannot obey the Torah לשמה. Hence across g’lut Chazal: Geonim, Reishonim – Rambam vs RambaN for example – the Shulchan Aruch to later modern halachic authorities and how much more so Goyim ‘biblical studies’ – none of them by definition instruct Torah rejects monotheism. Despite the multiple places throughout Talmud and Midrashic literature which teaches that both Esav and Yishmael rejected the revelation of the Torah at Sinai – assimilated and intermarried ערב רב Jewish authorities have praised that Monotheism does not fundamentally rape the 2nd Sinai commandment – based upon the precedents of Egypt, Canaan, and the prophet Eliyahu.

    None of these “cursed g’lut Jews” link the failure to keep the Yovel as “the” definition of the oath sworn to Avraham at the brit cut between the pieces that he would father the Cohen people who would inherit the lands of Canaan. None of these “cursed g’lut Jews” prioritized the Sinai distinction of Torah לשמה — לא בשמים היא. None of these “cursed g’lut Jews” link the Aggadic story of Cain’s murder of Hevel as משל, which like the dreams of both Yosef and Par’o require their נמשל interpretive דיוק.

    The Gemara a direct consequence of Jewish g’lut. Jews forced to communicate their scholarship in a language which the Goyim censors would not expunge. None the less, the “Cohen nation” expressed through halachic precedents! Never once – the 12 Tribes expressed as a Republic anymore than classic Reshonim non-statute law halachic codes prioritized the concept of korbanot! Ritual halachic codes do not address the tohor\tuma divide beyond ritual states. The study of Aggada confined to stories rather than a drosh back to interpret T’NaCH Primary Source prophetic mussar which elevates ritual commandments to wisdom time-oriented commandments from the Torah – like the B’HaG learns. Cursed g’lut Judaism declares Judaism (the assimilated religion) as the origin of monotheism through referring to NT Xtianity and Koran Islam as “daughter religions”. Rambam the assimilated (on par with the son of Ibn Ezra) ruled that Islam not avoda zara.

    G’lut Jewry – addicted to p’shat by Reshonim scholarship, which failed to grasp the warp/weft nature of Talmudic halacha\aggada loom which defines the cultures and customs of the Cohen peoples’ self identities, akin to oil in water, amongst g’lut dominant cultures, customs, and ways; as the definition of both the first and second Sinai Av commandments/תרי”ג toldot commandments. G’lut Jewry by definition failed to grasp that time-oriented commandments k’vanna express Torah wisdom. That Greek syllogism logic cannot duplicate.

    Emunah in the conquered land of Canaan – that justice seeks to restore shattered trust among our people consequent to damages and even deaths. The Talmudic כלל of hatred without cause, a fundamental interpretation of 2nd Commandment on par with the avoda zara worshipped throughout the Books of the later NaCH. The g’lut notion of ירידות הדורות as false as a 6 year old girl wearing a DD bra. Chinese ancestor worship more akin to g’lut notions that later generations cannot dispute with earlier generations! As if the earlier generations stood closer to the sealed masoret than the later generations – utter and complete nonsense. This curse g’lut לא לשמה reality ignores the mussar of “domino effect” as a valid interpretation of ירידות הדורות. That the Book of Kings express as political satire which mocks King Shlomo as “the wisest of all men”.

    Oral Torah the נמשל of the Written Torah Constitutional mandate משל. Oral Torah, as the Horev “interpretation” of the Av 1st & 2nd Torah Sinai commandments, employs Torah and even Talmudic halachot as בניני אבות to define the k’vanna of all Torah commandments defined as the wisdom commandments practiced by the nation of Cohonim within the borders of the conquered lands of Canaan; the 2nd Commandment “interpreted” through assimilation and intermarriage between alien cultures/people – how they worship their Gods.

    Torah common law legalism stands upon judicial precedent legal rulings; Sanhedrin Capital Crimes stands upon a minimum of two eye witnesses. Three man Torts courts by contrast operate both within a Independent Torah Republic of 12 Tribes and also in cursed g’lut lands abroad. Herein explains the “interpretation” of bnai Noach to Goyim living outside of the conquered Canaan lands. The Torah Constitutional mandate restricted only to Cohen National Independence within the borders of conquered Canaan.

    G’lut classic rabbinic Judaism expressed through Gaonim & Reshonim scholarship converted Judaism into a religion to address the needs of the cursed realities of g’lut. Medieval Jewish philosophy through modern academic biblical studies and post Rambam Civil War statute law halachic codifications like the Shulkan Aruch, historical Judaism, and Reform Karaism – dead as the authors who declared pre-Shoah that Berlin was their Jerusalem. Rambam’s halacha more closely resembles to the Protestant rejection of Catholic images 30 year war – wherein he ruled that Islam’s worship of Allah does not invalidate the 1st Sinai commandment.

    This cursed g’lut avoda zara embraced Monotheism; the Rambam בדיעבד permitted Jews to daven in Mosques! Its religious format serves a similar “replacement theology” which directly resembles the NT and Koran av tuma avoda zara. The Oral Torah definitively replaced by Greek logic syllogism formats by both the NT church and Muslim mosque. In similar fashion both replacement theologies prioritize faith as belief in ONE UNIVERSAL GOD which ignores the Oral Torah/Talmudic interpretation that the Sinai god – a local tribal god of the chosen Cohen nation who conquers Canaan. Hence rabbi Akiva ruled that the Wilderness Generation has no portion to the World to Come.

    G’lut Judaism blurrs over the בראשית emphasis that the Avot did not know the שם השם לשמה Sinai revelation. Cursed assimilated and inter-married Jewish societies, perhaps best defined by the ‘Golden Age’ of Spain highlighted in the back-drop of the 1492 forced population transfer and Inquisition torture of Marrano Jews. The gospel of John’s golden calf declaration that the word is God, perhaps best defines the “Word of God” av tuma avoda zara, defining expression of both the NT and Koran Golden Calf abominations.

    Torah common law legalism prioritizes the Constitutional mandate by its “specific” and repeated references made to justice – expressed through Sanhedrin courtroom judicial rulings which ideally restore fair compensation of damages inflicted by the “tuma” Israel upon the “tohor” Israel. Tohora vs Tuma their defining Constitutional mandate – by no means limited to Korbanot! This Constitutional mandate which distinguishes tohor middot vs. tuma middot — this fundamental Torah Constitutional mandate expressed in the תפילה דאורייתא Torah mandate known as kre’a shma/Yoke of the kingdom of heaven: interpreted to means acceptance of the domination of tohor middot spirits within the heart rather than the domination of tuma middot spirits within the heart. This הבדלה between chosen vs rejected ‘spirits’ bases itself on the 1st Sinai commandment – the שם השם לשמה – defined as Oral Torah spirits. Tuma yatzir middot, understood as the worship of words/religious belief system theologies and or Creeds. The latter tuma spirits define the Greek/Roman belief systems in their Gods.

    The later Xtian and Muslim avoda zara ie 2nd Sinai commandment Av tuma religions belief systems … no different from the Greek\Roman Av tuma religions belief systems. They all share the same common denominator, they worship words the expression of their Gods who live in the Heavens above. The Torah revelation of the 1st commandment שם השם לשמה – לא בשמים היא, establishes the chiddush revelation that while the Avot in the Book of בראשית, understood their אל שדי god as occupying both the Heavens and the Earth; the post Sinai שם השם לשמה occupies the Yatzir Ha-Tov hearts of the chosen Cohen nation which rules the conquered lands of Canaan as the one and only Cohen republic of 12 Tribes. Only the 12 Tribes accepted the revelation of this Torah at Sinai/Horev.

    The Torah Constitutional mandate 1. Rejects the theology of monotheism. 2. Establishes the chosen Cohen nation: expressed through laws which shape and define this tiniest of people. While all nations and societies shape their Gods through a defined religious worship of those Av tuma avoda zara 2nd Sinai commandment Gods, the Torah Constitutional mandate Cohen nation rejects and despises as Av tuma avoda zara spirits which dominate the Yatzir Ha-Ra within the heart, based upon the conflict Esav & Yaacov first introduced through the “womb of Rivka” aggada משל\נמשל metaphor.

    The tuma nature expressed through middot, understood as “personality attributes”, this משל Cain personality understands and perceives reality expressed to making a טיפש פשט literal worship of words. For example: the Koran mocks Jews as “the people of the Book”. This pejorative, it projects Arab/Muslim replacement theology which replaces the Hebrew T’NaCH with its Koran – specifically it replaces the akada of Yitzak with Yishmael. No different than the NT Bible replaces Jesus as the Son of God and totally rejects the Avraham “oath brit\alliance” (A political rather than a religious concept, perhaps best expressed through the בנין אב of the mitzva of קידושין).

    Both later religious theologies prioritize their replacement theological belief systems over the faith obligation of the Torah brit alliance – this revelation which mandates the Republic of 12 Tribes which rose out of the slavery of Egypt – to rule conquered Canaan with Sanhedrin courtroom justice. Both later religious theologies ignore completely the first commandment revelation לא בשמים היא the fundamental key to understanding that “faith” not a religious belief in God above, below, or in the past ie “Old Testament replaced by the NT or Koran. But rather “faith” as restricted to righteous judicially imposed fair restitution of damages inflicted by Jews upon other Jews who both share an oath alliance to pursue justice in the oath sworn Cohen land permanent inheritance.
