Kings of Israel and Judah

From Saul, David, and Solomon to the divided monarchy of Israel and Judah, the biblical kings shaped the history of God's people. Their reigns — recorded in 1–2 Samuel, 1–2 Kings, and 1–2 Chronicles — reveal a pattern of faithfulness and failure that the prophets measured against the covenant.

Study each king's reign, dynasty, and legacy below, tracing the throne of David through the kingdom's golden age, its split, and the exile. The royal line of Judah carries the messianic promise fulfilled in Jesus, the Son of David.
