Prove All Things - History of Ancient Israel and Judah
Discussion of the divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah. King Jeroboam was a significant figure in ancient Israel, known for his establishment of idol worship to prevent his subjects from traveling to Jerusalem, fearing their loyalty would shift to the house of David. He set up two golden calves for worship, one in Bethel and the other in Dan, leading the people away from God. Despite initial success, his reign was marked by divine disapproval, with prophets predicting his downfall due to his disobedience to God's commands.
