He was the king who "made Israel to sin." Constantly Scripture reminds us of this. Yet beneath this divinely ordained title, there was a living, breathing man--a man who started out going in the right direction, but then fell disastrously. What was it that caused him to stray? How is it that the rest of the nation followed his apostasy? Did he ever turn from his evil? What is his story meant to teach us? In this biography, we will investigate the life of Jeroboam and seek answers for these questions. As we do it, may our resolve to build our lives upon the foundation of Scripture be strengthened, and may we nd ourselves desiring more and more to know God's Truth and walk in it."
