THE DIVIDED KINGDOM: A NATION SPLIT INTO TWO
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. The Divided Kingdom
a) Over a thousand years has passed since the times of Israel began. We have been through the times of the Promises to Abraham, Bondage in Egypt, Wandering in the Wilderness, Conquest of Canaan, Kingdom of David, and now we have entered the time of the Kingdom Divided.
2. A Nation Split In Two
a) The nation of Israel became two separate kingdoms.
b) Israel had seen division before. After Solomon's death, however, the division became pronounced and longstanding.
c) Solomon's son Rehoboam took the throne in Jerusalem.But he lacked the skill to keep Israel united as previous kings had done, nor would he listen to advice.
d) So ten tribes rebelled against him, and a second kingdom was formed with Solomon's servant Jeroboam as king.
e) The books of Kings and Chronicles record the reigns of successive kings in both kingdoms. Many of these kings were wicked, but some were good and godly.
f) The break away kingdom of the ten tribes retained the name ISRAEL, whilst the smaller kingdom that remained around Jerusalem was known as JUDAH.
