God chose another king and told

Samuel to anoint him in secret.

King David built an Israelite

empire and made

Jerusalem his capital

city.

…And the New King would be DAVID!

David’s defeat of Philistine giant Goliath caused fame to spread quickly.

Solomon’s Kingdom

Solomon’s KingdomDavid wanted to build grand temple there

but died before its completion.

His son Solomon

finished the project.

Solomon was known for his proverbs, or wise sayings.

Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD

is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge

of the holy is understanding.

Solomon’s Proverbs

1. Wise children make their fathers proud of them; foolish ones bring their mothers grief.

2. Wealth you get by dishonesty will do you no good, but honesty can save your life.

3. The Lord will not let good people go hungry, but he will keep the wicked from getting what they want.

4. Being lazy will make you poor, but hard work will make you rich.

5. A sensible person gathers the crops when they are ready; it is a disgrace to sleep through the time of harvest.

Solomon’s Proverbs6. Good people will receive blessings.

The words of the wicked hide a violent nature.

7. Good people will be remembered as a blessing, but the wicked will soon be forgotten.

8. Sensible people accept good advice. People who talk foolishly will come to ruin.

9. Honest people are safe and secure, but the dishonest will be caught.

10. Someone who holds back the truth causes trouble, but one who openly criticizes works for peace.

Many IsraelitesHated his rule due to:

1. high taxes for buildings 2. making

young men work in armies of neighboring

countries.

After Solomon’s death, 10 of 12

tribes set up their own nation in the north called

The Kingdom of Israel, and the capital was Samaria.

In South, 2 other tribes formed the smaller Kingdom of Judah

with capital at Jerusalem.

What caused the fall of Israel?

722 B.C. Assyrians conquered 10 tribes of Israel

and scattered them

Many lost their heritage and are

called the “lost tribes of Israel.”

Assyrians settled the area and became known as Samaritans (half Jew, half Assyrian)

They read Torah and still offered sacrifices and

followed laws

The people of Judah looked down on them because they thought true

sacrifices had to be offered at the temple in Jerusalem.

H

In 620 B.C. Egyptians conquered Judah.

Chaldeans conquered Egypt in 605 B.C. and became

new rulers of Judah (but allowed them to keep their

king and pay tribute)

Jews united with Egyptians to rebel against the Chaldeans

In 597 B.C., Nebuchadnezzar of

the Chaldeans capturedJerusalem and

Punished the Jewsharshly

10,000 Jews forced to go to Babylon, the Chaldean capital

The new appointed king of Judah planned rebellion

Prophet Jeremiah warnedthat it was dangerous

586 B.C., Chaldeans:1. Crushed Jerusalem, 2. Destroyed the temple, 3. Forced the thousands to go to Babylon.

WHO WERE THE PROPHETS?
