King Jeroboam’s Legacy
by Bryan Gibson
Think your sins cannot affect generations to come? Consider the terrible legacy of Jeroboam.
ELAH did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father [King JEROBOAM] and in his sin which he made Israel sin (1 Kings 15:26).
BAASHA did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of JEROBOAM and in his sin which he made Israel sin (1 Kings 15:34).
ZIMRI died...because of his sins which he sinned, doing evil in the sight of the LORD, walking in the way of JEROBOAM, and in his sin which he did, making Israel sin (1 Kings 16:18-19).
OMRI walked in all the way of JEROBOAM the son of Nebat and in his sins which he made Israel sin, provoking the LORD God of Israel with their idols (1 Kings 16:26).
It came about, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of JEROBOAM the son of Nebat, that AHAB married Jezebel...went to serve Baal and worshiped him (1 Kings 16:31).
AHAZ did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of his father and in the way of his mother and in the way of JEROBOAM the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin (1 Kings 22:52).
JEHORAM clung to the sins of JEROBOAM the son of Nebat, which he made Israel sin; he did not depart from them (2 Kings 3:3).
But JEHU was not careful to walk in the law of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart; he did not depart from the sins of JEROBOAM, which he made Israel sin (2 Kings 10:31).
JEHOASH did evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not turn away from all the sins of JEROBOAM the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel sin, but he walked in them (2 Kings 13:11).
UZZIAH did evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not depart from all the sins of JEROBOAM the son of Nebat, which he made Israel sin (2 Kings 14:24).
PEKAHIAH did evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not depart from the sins of JEROBOAM son of Nebat, which he made Israel sin (2 Kings 15:24).
PEKAH did evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not depart from the sins of JEROBOAM son of Nebat, which he made Israel sin (2 Kings 15:28).
THE SONS OF ISRAEL walked in all the sins of JEROBOAM which he did; they did not depart from them until the LORD removed Israel from His sight (2 Kings 17:22-23).

Consider the potential effects of righteousness on generations to come:
“A righteous man who walks in his integrity—how blessed are his sons after him” (Proverbs 20:9).
“How blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in His commandments. His descendants will be mighty on earth…” (Psalms 112:1-2).
“I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me always, for their own good and for the good of their children after them” (Jeremiah 32:39).
So...how we conduct ourselves now can influence many generations to come—for good or bad.

The Prattmont Church of Christ is just what the name suggests, a church that belongs to Christ. We are not a denomination; we are simply a group of Christians trying very hard to practice the teachings of our Head, Jesus Christ. The New Testament offers a complete pattern for what each local church should be like—its organization, its worship, its work, etc. We are committed to following that pattern. We cordially invite you to attend our services. We would also welcome any comments or questions about this bulletin.
