Human Plans vs. God's Purpose
Rehoboam's immediate response to the rebellion was to gather a massive army of 180,000 warriors. Commentators like Matthew Henry see this as a classic example of human plans clashing with divine will. It highlights the futility of trying to use force to fight against what God has already ordained, reminding believers that God's purpose will ultimately prevail over human strength and strategy.
