God's view of the Kings of Judah

A spiritual perspective on the kings that followed David: Obedience brings blessings; disobedience brings wrath.

• I. Reign of Solomon (1 - 9)
• II. Reigns of Judah's Kings (10 - 36)

Jeroboam - led the rebellion against Rehoboam; reigned as the first king over the northern tribes

Josiah - Judah's last righteous king

Rehoboam - Solomon's son, who succeeded him as king; the kingdom split under his leadership

Solomon - Israel's wisest and most glorious king; wrote much wisdom literature; ended his life as an idolater with all his foreign wives, though, his repentance is expressed in Ecclesiastes.
