How long did the kingdoms of Israel and Judah exist as separate entities?+

After the split under Rehoboam (around 930 BC), the northern kingdom of Israel existed for approximately 200 years until its conquest by Assyria in 722 BC. The southern kingdom of Judah lasted about 340 years until the Babylonian conquest in 586 BC.

Why is it important to study the kings of Israel and Judah?+

The histories of these kings illustrate the consequences of obedience and disobedience to God's covenant, show how spiritual faithfulness and unfaithfulness affected national stability, and provide the historical and spiritual backdrop for understanding the Old Testament prophets and the eventual promise of the Messiah through the line of David.
