Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the kingdom of Israel divide after Solomon's death?+

Solomon's son Rehoboam refused to reduce taxes and lighten the heavy burden his father had placed on the people. The northern tribes rebelled and followed Jeroboam instead, creating the division into Israel (north) and Judah (south), as described in 1 Kings 12.

What is the Davidic Covenant?+

The Davidic Covenant is God's promise to King David that his dynasty would endure forever and his descendant would rule on his throne eternally. This covenant, recorded in 2 Samuel 7, is foundational to biblical messianic expectations, as it points to Jesus Christ as the ultimate fulfillment of this promise.

How many kings ruled Israel and Judah?+

The northern kingdom of Israel had 19 kings over approximately 200 years before being conquered by Assyria in 722 BC. The southern kingdom of Judah had 20 kings and lasted longer, until the Babylonian conquest in 586 BC.
