Dust to Glory 17

The glorious and grand reigns of David and Solomon quickly faded during the reigns

of succeeding kings. During the reign of Solomon’s son Rehoboam, a split occurred

between the northern kingdom and the southern kingdom from which Israel never

recovered. The subsequent history of the divided kingdom is a gradual descent into

idolatry, defeat, and national destruction. Rejecting all the warnings of God’s prophets,

both kingdoms were eventually conquered by foreign nations and the inhabitants

taken out of their homeland into exile. In this lecture, Dr. Sproul discusses the history

of the divided kingdom.
