According to the chronicler, this verse means that God had a plan that was being carried out, even though the king didn't listen to the people. God's promise was coming true just like He had told through His messenger, Ahijah.

2 Chronicles 10:15: So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

Contradiction with Proverbs 21:1

This verse states that the king's heart is in the hand of the Lord and that He directs it wherever He pleases, suggesting divine control over the king's decisions, in contrast to 2 Chronicles 10:15 where the Lord is said to have hardened Rehoboam's heart to fulfill a prophecy, implying a decree rather than guidance.

Proverbs 21:1: The king's heart [is] in the hand of the LORD, [as] the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

Contradiction with Romans 9:18

This verse explains that God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy and hardens whom He wants to harden, indicating divine sovereignty in influencing decisions, clashing with the idea of God intentionally misleading Rehoboam in 2 Chronicles 10:15 as a fulfillment of events rather than a merciful or compassionate act.

Romans 9:18: Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will [have mercy], and whom he will he hardeneth.

Contradiction with James 1:13

This verse states that God does not tempt anyone to do evil, which contradicts the notion presented in 2 Chronicles 10:15 where God causes a situation that leads to negative consequences for Rehoboam's leadership, suggesting divine influence towards an adverse outcome.

James 1:13: Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [evil: or, evils]

Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 14:33

This verse declares that God is not the author of confusion, contrasting with 2 Chronicles 10:15 where God's role in hardening Rehoboam's decision results in a division, reflecting confusion and disarray in the kingdom.

1 Corinthians 14:33: For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. [confusion: Gr. tumult, or, unquietness]

Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:32

This verse says that God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, whereas 2 Chronicles 10:15 involves a divine influence leading to division and conflict, hinting at a pleasure in fulfilling a prophecy through negative means.

Ezekiel 18:32: For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn [yourselves], and live ye. [yourselves: or, others]
