JEROBOAM - J>@ - (whose people are many). The first king of the divided kingdom of Israel, B.C. 975-954, was the son of an Ephraimite of the name of Nebat. He was raised by Solomon to the rank of superintendent over the taxes and labors exacted from the tribe of Ephraim. (Kings:11:28) he made the most of his position, and at last was perceived by Solomon to be aiming at the monarchy. He was leaving Jerusalem, when he was met by Ahijah the prophet, who gave him the assurance that, on condition of obedience to his laws, God would establish for him a kingdom and dynasty equal to that of David. (Kings:11:29-40) The attempts of Solomon to cut short Jeroboam’s designs occasioned his flight into Egypt. There he remained until Solomon’s death. After a year’s longer stay in Egypt, during which Jeroboam married Ano, the elder sister of the Egyptian queen Tahpenes, he returned to Shechem, where took place the conference with Rehoboam REHOBOAM, and the final revolt which ended in the elevation of Jeroboam to the throne of the northern kingdom. Now occurred the fatal error of his policy. Fearing that the yearly pilgrimages to Jerusalem would undo all the work which he effected, he took the bold step of rending the religious unity of the nation, which was as yet unimpaired, asunder. He caused two golden figures of Mnevis, the sacred calf, to be made and set up at the two extremities of his kingdom, one at Dan and the other at Bethel. It was while dedicating the altar at Bethel that a prophet from Judah suddenly appeared, who denounced the altar, and foretold its desecration by Josiah, and violent overthrow. The king, stretching out his hand to arrest the prophet, felt it withered and paralyzed, and only at the prophet’s prayer saw it restored, and acknowledged his divine mission. Jeroboam was at constant war with the house of Judah, but the only act distinctly recorded is a battle with Abijah, son of Rehoboam, in which he was defeated. The calamity was severely felt; he never recovered the blow, and soon after died, in the 22d year of his reign, ( kjv@2Chronicles:13:20) and was buried in his ancestral sepulchre. (Kings:14:20) Jeroboam II., the son of Joash, the fourth of the dynasty of Jehu. (B.C. 825-784.) The most prosperous of the kings of Israel. He repelled the Syrian invaders, took their capital city Damascus, ( kjv@2Kings:14:28) and recovered the whole of the ancient dominion from Hamah to the Dead Sea. ch ( kjv@2Kings:14:25) Ammon and Moab were reconquered, and the transjordanic tribes were restored to their territory, ( kjv@2Kings:13:5; kjv@1Chronicles:5:17-22) but it was merely an outward restoration.

Jeroboam @ increase of the people.

(1.) The son of Nebat (kjvKings:11:26-39), "an Ephrathite," the first king of the ten tribes, over whom he reigned twenty-two years (B.C. 976-945). He was the son of a widow of Zereda, and while still young was promoted by Solomon to be chief superintendent of the "burnden", i.e., of the bands of forced labourers. Influenced by the words of the prophet Ahijah, he began to form conspiracies with the view of becoming king of the ten tribes; but these having been discovered, he fled to Egypt (kjvKings:11:29-40), where he remained for a length of time under the protection of Shishak I. On the death of Solomon, the ten tribes, having revolted, sent to invite him to become their king. The conduct of Rehoboam favoured the designs of Jeroboam, and he was accordingly proclaimed "king of Israel" (kjvKings:12: 1-20). He rebuilt and fortified Shechem as the capital of his kingdom. He at once adopted means to perpetuate the division thus made between the two parts of the kingdom, and erected at Dan and Bethel, the two extremities of his kingdom, "golden calves," which he set up as symbols of Jehovah, enjoining the people not any more to go up to worship at Jerusalem, but to bring their offerings to the shrines he had erected. Thus he became distinguished as the man "who made Israel to sin." This policy was followed by all the succeeding kings of Israel. While he was engaged in offering incense at Bethel, a prophet from Judah appeared before him with a warning message from the Lord. Attempting to arrest the prophet for his bold words of defiance, his hand was "dried up," and the altar before which he stood was rent asunder. At his urgent entreaty his "hand was restored him again" (kjvKings:13:1-6, 9; comp. kjv@2Kings:23:15); but the miracle made no abiding impression on him. His reign was one of constant war with the house of Judah. He died soon after his son Abijah (kjvKings:14:1-18).

(2.) Jeroboam II., the son and successor of Jehoash, and the fourteenth king of Israel, over which he ruled for forty-one years, B.C. 825-784 ( kjv@2Kings:14:23). He followed the example of the first Jeroboam in keeping up the worship of the golden calves ( kjv@2Kings:14:24). His reign was contemporary with those of Amaziah ( kjv@2Kings:14:23) and Uzziah (15:1), kings of Judah. He was victorious over the Syrians (13:4; 14:26-27), and extended Israel to its former limits, from "the entering of Hamath to the sea of the plain" (14:25; kjv@Amos:6:14). His reign of forty-one years was the most prosperous that Israel had ever known as yet. With all this outward prosperity, however, iniquity widely prevailed in the land kjv@Amos:2:6-8 kjv@Amos:4:1 kjv@Amos:6:6 ; kjv@Hosea:4:12-14). The prophets Hosea (1:1), Joel (3:16; kjv@Amos:1:1-2), Amos (1:1), and Jonah ( kjv@2Kings:14:25) lived during his reign. He died, and was buried with his ancestors (14:29). He was succeeded by his son Zachariah (q.v.). His name occurs in Scripture only in kjv@2Kings:13:13 kjv@2Kings:14:16 kjv@2Kings:14:23, 27, 28, 29; 15:1,8; kjv@1Chronicles:5:17; kjv@Hosea:1:1; kjv@Amos:1:1 kjv@Amos:7:9-10, 11. In all other passages it is Jeroboam the son of Nebat that is meant.
