Congratulations to our GIVEAWAY WINNER: Sarah Oliver! Your goodies are heading your way soon!The kingdom has divided, the kings have failed, and yet God's faithfulness remains.In this episode of The Dwelling Place, Stephanie Hickox continues our chronological Bible reading journey through 1 Kings 12–14 and 2 Chronicles 10–12, exploring one of the most significant turning points in Israel's history—the division of the kingdom after Solomon's death.If you've ever struggled to keep track of Israel, Judah, Rehoboam, and Jeroboam, this episode offers memorable tools to help you understand the divided kingdom while keeping your focus on the larger story of Scripture: God's covenant faithfulness and His promise of a better King to come.Together we'll examine the rise of the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah, the dangers of pride, counterfeit worship, and spiritual compromise, while marveling at God's patience toward His people. As we read about flawed kings and repeated rebellion, we're reminded that every page of Scripture ultimately points us to Jesus Christ—the righteous King who never fails.In This EpisodeWhy the kingdom divided after Solomon's reignThe difference between Israel (Northern Kingdom) and Judah (Southern Kingdom)Rehoboam's pride and the consequences of rejecting wise counselJeroboam's counterfeit worship and the golden calvesGod's warnings through prophets and His patience with rebellious leadersWhy Chronicles focuses on Judah and the Davidic lineEncouragement for parents who long to see spiritual fruit in their childrenHow God's faithfulness shines even in seasons of widespread disobedienceWhy every failed king points us to Jesus, the perfect KingKey Scripture Passages1 Kings 12–142 Chronicles 10–121 Kings 12:81 Kings 12:13–151 Kings 131 Kings 14:7–16Matthew 13God's covenant promises to DavidTruth for TodayAs we study the divided kingdom, we're reminded that God's patience is greater than our failures. Though Israel's kings repeatedly turned away from Him, the Lord continued to pursue His people, warn them, discipline them, and preserve His covenant promises.For parents faithfully planting seeds of faith, this passage offers both warning and encouragement. Our children need more than good examples—they need a Savior. The same God who patiently pursued Israel is still at work today, watering seeds, drawing hearts, and accomplishing His purposes.ResourcesEntrusted Ministries exists to encourage moms to know God through His Word and faithfully pass biblical truth to the next generation.
