Sun, 18 March 2007 Because of Solomon's idolatry, the Lord tore the kingdom from Solomon's son, Rehoboam. The ten northern tribes rebelled and followed Jeroboam, while the southern tribe of Judah (which also absorbed Benjamin) remained loyal to David's line. The northern kings were all godless, so the Lord sent the tribes into captivity by the Assyrians in 722 BC. Some southern kings were good, but others were bad. The tribe of Judah would be dragged into captivity by Babylon in three waves of deportation under King Nebuchadnezzar. Comments[0] |
