About this episode

This episode discusses the splitting of the Kingdom of Israel due to Solomon's sins and the subsequent reign of Rehoboam and Jeroboam.

In this Bible Story, we witness the splitting of Israel. Solomon’s sin causes God to strip him of his legacy. Rehoboam, Solomon’s son, uses the throne as an opportunity to be cruel. Jeroboam is named king in place of Rehoboam. So Rehoboam ruled over Judah, while Jeroboam ruled over the other ten tribes of Israel. This story is inspired by 1 Kings 11:26-12:24 & 2 Chronicles 10-11:1-4.
