1Ki 14:19 | MHM | STEP | v. 19-20 : Jeroboam’s reign ends soon after. He dies after ruling for twenty-two years, and his son Nadab becomes king (1 Kings 14:20 ). But Nadab’s rule is short, and the family’s downfall comes quickly, just as God had warned. The rest of Jeroboam’s acts were recorded in the official records of the kings of Israel, but those books are now lost. This passage teaches us that God sees both the evil and the good in every heart. He judges sin, especially when it leads others astray, but He also shows mercy to those who seek Him, even in difficult circumstances. God’s word always comes true, and no disguise or power can hide us from His judgment.
