God sent prophet Raja to Jeroboam Jeroboam Jeroboam stop Oh who are you huh Jeroboam I am prophet ajita it is God who sent me to meet you God but why he wanted me to deliver his message to you Oh but tell me this first you have seen the condition of Israelites here what would you have done if you were to become the king we are king yes what would you have done hmm I would the first thing I would do is to free all the slaves ah that's great you are such a wise man and never forget what you just said what are you saying I I don't understand Jeroboam here is the God's message to you this is Israel I will tear this up and give ten tribes to you for the sake of my servant David I will give Judah to his descendants what could this be true thank you God thank you when Solomon came to know that Jeroboam was being kind to his slaves he really got angry your majesty bring Jeroboam immediately how dare he provoke revolt among these slaves but my lord it seems that he was told to do so by a prophet what a prophet yes my lord prophet Ahuja is with him anyone who dared oppose me must die anyone who raises a finger against me will die my lord if you do so then there won't be many alive what what do you mean yes my lord people are dissatisfied even the soldiers have started revolting against us hah I don't care about that every opposition must be crushed I'm not going to tolerate any rebellion against me get Jeroboam immediately I'm going to hang him for this I'm sorry Jeroboam but you have to leave now but but the King has sent his soldiers for you if they find you then they will not hesitate to kill you but I was just being kind to the slaves what's wrong with that our king is doomed he will not understand this you must escape now and you must return to Jerusalem only after his death yes prophet are the Jew as you see fearing the king jeroboam flee to Egypt he stayed there for many years and waited for Solomon to die as years passed opposition increased and Solomon adopted severe measures to suppress the rebellion hmm is it true that the Empire is about to collapse if that's the case then what have I gained what good was my rule forget the Empire what did I earn with my life palaces fees the housings of beautiful woman I got everything I wanted but still nothing matters in the end there is no difference between me and a slave we both will die in the end how fast do we pass through this life hmm I was able to stop all my enemies but who can stop death vanity of vanities all this vanity a life that ends in debt has no meaning oh my god what if I have to give an account of my life after death the pleasures of this life will pass away like a flash I thought I was wise but in reality I was an archer fool I forgot the Lord and who will forgive me now Solomon died at the age of 70 he ruled Israel for 40 years his son succeeded him but he was more cruel and more oppressive and he did not possess the wisdom of his father all the tribes revolted against him except Judah when Jeroboam returned from Egypt people accepted him as their king thus Solomon's Empire was split into two Israel in the north and Judah in the south Wow did you all like
