Kings of Israel

Overview

After Solomon’s reign, learn how the Hebrew realm divided into Israel (the North), and Judea (the South), each of which anointed kings. Follow the exploits of Israel’s King Jeroboam and King Omri, and visit the remains of Samaria, built as a capital to rival Jerusalem. Observe how King Ahab angered God, whose wrath sent the invading Assyrians who crushed and deported the northern Israelites.
