11:1-4 Shemaiah’s prophetic intervention averted immediate civil war among Israel’s tribes, but the summary of Rehoboam characterizes his reign as one of continual warfare with Jeroboam (12:15). Civil war characterized the first fifty years of the divided kingdom, until the time of Omri.
God’s Inscrutable Purposes in History
God directs people and events to fulfill his purposes in history. He has no need to explain himself, but he always has a purpose that he is working out; he guides individuals, nations, and events in accord with his will. This philosophy of history remains consistent throughout biblical history. God works through human actions to bring about results that he has planned and that cannot be explained in any other way except his orchestration.
For example, the Chronicler gives just one explanation for the continued division of the kingdom of Israel: Rehoboam and those loyal to him “obeyed the message of the Lord and did not fight against Jeroboam” (2 Chr 11:4). The cause of the division—the irrational response of Rehoboam to the people’s request—has already been explained in the previous narrative: “This turn of events was the will of God, for it fulfilled the Lord’s message to Jeroboam son of Nebat through the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh” (10:15). Rehoboam may have been able to easily defeat the rebels, but he was deterred by the will of the Lord.
Obedience to God’s will brought positive results for Rehoboam: He fortified cities; he put military leaders, equipment, and food supplies in place; loyal citizens migrated to his territory; and he had a large family. God’s will was clear, and the benefit to Rehoboam was obvious, yet the Chronicler could not explain God’s purposes. Readers of the book today are also left to ponder why God allowed the kingdom to remain divided.
The prophet Isaiah declares the mystery of God’s ways: “‘My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,’ says the Lord. ‘And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts’” (Isa 55:8-9). Those who fear God learn not to lean on human understanding, but to follow the word of God even when it is contrary to earthly values.
