V.1-5 He continues his schemes, but the Lord is not fooled and neither is the Lord’s servant who stayed in the right place.
V.6-16 God tells Ahijah who the woman really is! God told him a lot more as well. Awful message, but who did Jeroboam have to blame? What a mercy is verse 13. The child was not old enough to be personally guilty of his father’s bad ways, so the Lord takes the child to Himself out of that sinful house (see Matt. 18:10-11, 1410Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. 11For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. (Matthew 18:10‑11)
14Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. (Matthew 18:14)).
V.17-20 Two deaths.
V.21 The Lord tells us again where His one center was.
V.22-24 But it is important to notice that those who were at the place where the Lord had put His Name, were also unfaithful.
V.25-31 The Lord allowed the king of Egypt to attack Jerusalem and even to break into the house of the Lord and take away its treasures. Notice that the king makes more shields, but to defend whose house? When we do not value Christ as our one gathering Center, the Lord sometimes allows the enemy to rob us of our treasures.
