      VANHU vaJehovha vesungano pavakakamurwa kuva umambo huviri, umambo hwendudzi gumi hwokumusoro hwakatanga kutongwa naJerobhoami. Mambo mutsva wacho akanga ari mutongi aikwanisa, aive nesimba.

MuMutemo waMosesi, vaIsraeri vairayirwa kufamba vachienda kutemberi muJerusarema katatu pagore, iyo zvino yakanga iri kuumambo hwezasi hwenyika yeJudha.

      2 Kwechinguva, zano raJerobhoami rakaita seraishanda. Zvishoma nezvishoma vanhu vakarega kuenda kuJerusarema uye vakatanga kunamata pamberi pemhuru mbiri. (1 Madzimambo 12:30) Zvisinei, tsika yechitendero yokuramba kutenda iyi yakakanganisa umambo hwendudzi gumi.

(2 Madzimambo 10:28, 29) Chiizve chimwe chakaguma chaitika nemhaka yechisarudzo chakaipa kwazvo chaJerobhoami? Kusagadzikana kwezvematongerwe enyika nokutambura kwevanhu vake.

      3 Nemhaka yokuti Jerobhoami akanga aramba kutenda, Jehovha akati mbeu yake yaisazotonga panyika yacho, uye pakupedzisira umambo hwokumusoro hwaizotambura nedambudziko rakaipisisa.

Mumwe mambo akazviuraya, uye vamwe vatanhatu vakaurayirwa chigaro nevarume vaizvikudza vakabvuta chigaro. Kunyanya pashure pokutonga kwaJerobhoami II, uko kwakaguma munenge muna 804 B.C.E. apo Uziya akanga achitonga munyika yeJudha, nyika yeIsraeri yakatambudzwa nokusagadzikana, chisimba, uye kuurayirwa chigaro. Mumamiriro iwaya ezvinhu ndimo umo Jehovha achishandisa Isaya anotumira nyevero yakananga, kana kuti “shoko,” kuumambo hwokumusoro. “Jehovha wakatuma shoko kuna Jakobho, rakaburukira pamusoro pavaIsraeri.”—Isaya 9:8.a
