Jeroboam was soon accepted the king of the tribes, and he was too good to them. However, many people from his tribes still visited the temple that was located in Jerusalem, which was still ruled by Solomon’s son. He didn’t want his people to visit that place, as the king might win them back. So he constructed the idols and images of God and asked his men to worship them, and said that it was God who brought them to this place. God was displeased with him, and soon brought ill-faith on his family. His son became very sick. He asked his wife to go to Ahijah the priest and enquire about the health of his son. Ahijah knew that she would be coming to him and said that God was unhappy with him and his family would have to bear the anger.
