1 Kings 12:8

But he abandoned the counsel that the old men gave him and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him and stood before him.

Rehoboam is the son of Solomon. He has a natural right to the kingship of the twelve tribes but he ruins it. The older people gave him wise counsel that came from years of experience but he ignores it out of loyalty. We can not let loyalty to people keep us from making the best decisions. I have seen people pass up divine oppurtunity out of loyalty to their friends or family. We must not do this but instead we must trust God that even in this new situation our relationships will work out, it is an act of faith.
