The green represents Judah with the red line representing Jesus’s family line. Israel split into two kingdoms- Israel and Judah. As a result, God promised to tear the kingdom away from Solomon. Remember when Israel married women from the enemy that worshipped idols when Joshua was leader? The same thing happened here. Some of these wives worshipped idols which led Solomon to stop worshipping God. The tent tabernacle was used for 400 years, but now they would worship in temple made of the best stone, jewel, and wood. This pleased God so much that in addition to wisdom, He gave Solomon riches and honor- more than any other king has ever seen before! Solomon is famous for building the first temple for God that would replace the tent tabernacle that Moses had built. If you look at the book of Psalms, many of these songs were written by David and accompanied by stringed instruments.ĭavid’s son, Solomon became the next king. However, he always repented and obeyed God again. I wish I could go into more detail about this long story between King Saul and David, but for now, you need to know that King David is often considered the greatest king of Israel because he did everything that pleased God. David ministered to King Saul for a long time but eventually Saul continued to be disobedient and he could not control his anger. God chose David while he was still a young boy and while Saul was still king. Unfortunately, Saul did not obey God and chose another king to replace him. God decided to give Israel a king named Saul. This caused Israel to want a king too, even though God was their king. Most of the countries around Israel were ruled by kings. However, when the judge died, Israel would disobey God again and again be defeated. It was not until Israel repented and God appointed a new temporary leader called a judge. He did not appoint a new leader because Israel disobeyed God. Remember when Joshua died, God allowed Israel to be defeated by her enemies.
