Kings: The Rise and Fall of Israel

David's son Solomon ascends to the throne in Israel and in his great wisdom leads Israel to a golden age of dominion and prosperity. However, Solomon does not wholly follow the LORD, and in his latter years bows down to other gods. The kingdom is torn, Israel is divided, and eventually both Judah and Israel go into exile. Israel has broken God's word, and yet God will be true to His word of promise and send His Son, and David will never lack a man on the throne of Israel.
