SUB-THEME/2 : GODLY LEADERSHIP .
TOPIC : Some Biblical Examples of Ungodliness 2:
Saul and Rehoboam.
TEXT : 1 Sam. 13: 6-14; 1 Kings 14: 21-29 .
AIMS :
i. To identify what made the two kings ungodly leaders ;
ii. To discover the consequences of their ungodliness ;
iii. To learn God’s stand against ungodliness from the consequences the two
kings suffered.
INTRODUCTION :
The Bible makes it clear that it is an abominable and improper for kings to be
wicked ( Prov. 16: 12; Job 34:17-19 ); and that it is unacceptable for a king in
Israel to disobey God’s command. Saul, the first king of Israel, had several
admirable qualities that made him fit to be king of Israel but he lost the throne
to David because of disobedience. Likewise Rehoboam, the son and successor
to Solomon became the last king of united Israel as a result of his personal

flaws. The two kings did enough to provoke God’s wrath and their
dethronement.
STUDY GUIDE
1. a) Point out the particular wrong actions of the two kings in 1 Sam. 13:
6-14; 1 Kings 14:21-29 and state why those actions were ungodly? 2
Chron. 12:1, 14 .
b) What other ungodly actions were carried out by them?
(i) 1 Sam. 15: 1-3, 13-19; 18: 6-11; 22: 13-18; 28: 8-1 2;
(ii) 1 Kings 12: 6, 15-16, 18, 21; 2 Chr. 12: 1.
2. What were the consequences of those actions?
(i) 1 Sam. 13:13-14; 15:22-23, 28; 31:1-5; 2 Sam. 21:1-2 .
(ii) 2 Chr. 12:1-2, 5, 9-10.
3. In the light of the above, what lesson is there for today’s leaders, especially
in the Church? Job 34:19; 24: 1 .
CONCLUSION : It is an abomination for Kings to be wicked, and not to be
found to do right as leaders is a great dishonour. Every true leader should
always keep in mind that at the appropriate time, there will be appropriate and
divine recompense. True repentance may delay or defer God’s wrath; but it is
best to walk honorably and godly.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT : The high and low face God’s wrath when they sin.
MEMORY VERSE : Job 18:17 .
