In Matthew 22:34-40, Jesus sums up the Law and the Prophets by saying that we should love God with everything we have, and love others as we would love ourselves.  That's interesting, since in 1 Kings 12 we see, by contrast, how two leaders of Israel did the exact opposite. 

• Jeroboam, reigning over the northern Kingdom of Israel, the ten tribes, loves others, but not God; and
• Rehoboam, Solomon's son, shows his disdain for the people and for God

In Chapter 12, we have two men, neither of them is following God, one is a political nutcase, and the other is politically shrewd.  Kind of sounds like our government today!
