Kings rule kingdoms, and the name United Kingdom gives you a hint that this kingdom did not remain whole. It was only united under three kings: Saul, David, and Solomon. After the death of Solomon, it became divided, resulting in the ___________________ __________________.<\/p>\n<h2>The Divided Kingdom<\/h2>\n<p>During this period, we had two kingdoms, Israel in the north and Judah in the south. This situation lasted for 200 years. The northern kingdom, Israel, never faithfully followed God, so God allowed an enemy nation, the Assyrians, to come and take the northern kingdom away, leaving Judah alone.<\/p>\n<h2>Judah Alone<\/h2>\n<p>After Israel was taken into captivity, you would think that the southern kingdom, Judah, would have learned to obey God. They managed to last as a nation for a while but soon slipped into the same sins as their northern brethren. God sent the Babylonians to take Judah into captivity. Now, both kingdoms are in captivity.<\/p>\n<h2>The Captivity<\/h2>\n<p>The marvelous stories of Daniel and his friends were told during the captivity. However, the captivity did not last forever. God promised to let the people return one day.<\/p>\n<h2>The Return<\/h2>\n<p>The people of Israel were allowed to return to their country. They came in three major waves. The first group came to rebuild the Temple. The second came to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. The final group resettled the area. Even after the people returned, they still were not fully obedient to the Lord, but God had no further instructions for the people. The prophet Amos predicted a period when there would be a famine of prophecy. In other words, God would be silent for a period of time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavistachurchofchrist.org\/cms\/bible-studies\/overview-of-bible-history\/forming-the-nation-of-israel\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrior Lesson\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavistachurchofchrist.org\/cms\/bible-studies\/overview-of-bible-history\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOverview of Bible History\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavistachurchofchrist.org\/cms\/bible-studies\/overview-of-bible-history\/out-with-the-old-and-in-with-the-new\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNext Lesson\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nation of Israel Put the following events in order: &nbsp; ___ Conquering Canaan &nbsp; ___ The Flood &nbsp; ___ Bondage in Egypt &nbsp; ___ The Judges &nbsp; ___The Patriarchs &nbsp; ___ Before the Flood &nbsp; ___ Wandering in the Wilderness &nbsp; ___ The Scattering of the People &nbsp; ___ Leaving Egypt The United Kingdom&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":67627,"menu_order":4,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-67643","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":22468,"url":"https:\/\/www.lavistachurchofchrist.org\/cms\/bible-studies\/survey-of-the-bible\/survey-of-the-bible-i-kings\/","url_meta":{"origin":67643,"position":0},"title":"Survey of the Bible &#8211; I Kings","author":"Jeffrey Hamilton","date":"May 17, 2020","format":false,"excerpt":"Survey of the Bible - I Kings Text: I Kings 9:1-9 \u00a0 I.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The books of I Kings and II Kings are actually one book but were divided to make scrolls not so large. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0A.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The books of I Kings and II Kings focuses more on the moral history of Israel, with\u2026","rel":"","context":"Similar post","block_context":{"text":"Similar post","link":""},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":14388,"url":"https:\/\/www.lavistachurchofchrist.org\/cms\/bible-studies\/why-did-god-create-man-a-study-of-ecclesiastes\/the-question\/","url_meta":{"origin":67643,"position":1},"title":"The Question","author":"Jeffrey Hamilton","date":"October 28, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"The Question Reading Assignment:\u00a0Ecclesiastes 1:1-18 Did you understand what you read?
