Excerpt from Hours With the Bible, Vol. 4: Or the Scriptures in the Light of Modern Knowledge
Not unnaturally, three days' delay were demanded by Rehoboam before he gave his answer. However willing to make a just concession, his dignity required him to do it as became a king. Had he been equal to the occasion, the future of Israel might have been different. But a revolution was inevitable. The king hearkened not unto the people for the cause was from the lord.2 Instinctively turning to the venerable men who had stood before his father, men thoughtful and experienced, they gave him advice which, had it been taken, might have averted the catastrophe. Gentle words, they said, and timely concessions, would bind the tribes to him for ever. But it is hard for a despot to humble himself. Was there no way of meeting the difficulty more flattering to his pride A younger generation of court iers had grown up around him; he would ask them. In their light insolence, however, they had no idea but coer cion. Who were they who dared Oppose the will of a king Rehoboam should treat them as slaves, and tell them that.
