The Kingdom in Israel Divides
7.4 Let’s Practice…
1. While Solomon was a very wise man, what did he impose on his people that eventually
caused Israel to split into two nations?
2. Agriculturally, how did the Northern Kingdom compare to the Southern Kingdom?
3. Describe the relationship that the northern Kings had with Yahweh.
4. Describe the judgment of the Northern Kingdom in 722 BCE.
5. Why did Jeroboam create two worship centers in Israel?
6. Describe the type of worship Jeroboam set up in the Northern Kingdom.
7. The Northern Kingdom had all the advantages of fertile fields and was located in the middle of major
trade routes. Why was this location not advantageous for Israel?
7.5 Let’s Personalize this Lesson…
Activity: How is the condition of the hearts of the Northern Kingdom like the condition of the
hearts of people in your country?
God sent several prophets to Israel to warn them to cease worshipping false gods and to
turn to Him. Why do you think they refused to obey?
What do you think it will take to bring your country to submission to the Lord?
