| Summary: | The Chronicler's version of the schism (1 Chr 10:1–12:16) differs significantly from its parallel narrative in Kings. This article addresses the differences through literary analysis of the main characters represented in the narrative: Rehoboam and Jeroboam. In particular, the article demonstrates how the Chronicler maintains a certain balance between them; how Abijah's speech contributes to the characterizations of Rehoboam and Jeroboam; and how it illuminates the Chronicler's perception of the schism and the subsequent events. |
