Rehoboam

Solomon's son who lost most of the kingdom because he refused wise advice

About

When Rehoboam took the throne, the people asked him to lighten Solomon's heavy taxes. The elders said yes, but Rehoboam's young friends told him to flex harder. He famously replied: 'My father disciplined you with whips; I will discipline you with scorpions' (1 Kings 12:14). Ten tribes immediately seceded under Jeroboam. One of the worst leadership decisions in recorded history.
