Description: Rehoboam took over the kingdom from his dad, Solomon. The first decision he had to make as king was important: lighten up on the people's workload or continue to press them hard. After consulting with his father's advisors and his own friends, Rehoboam took the bad advice of his friends and plunged the nation into civil war.
