Shabbat Shalom.
Today I read nine chapters from the book of First Kings, covering chapters 7 -15, about several Kings of Israel and Judah who came to power after Solomon's death.
In the southern Kingdom of Judah, Solomon was succeeded by his son, grandson and great grandson: Rehoboam ben Solomon, Abijam ben Rehoboam, and Asa ben Abijam respectively.
In the northern Kingdom of the ten tribes of Israel, Jeroboam ben Nebat the Ephraimite who broke away from Rehoboam ben Solomon in the south, was succeeded by his son Nadab ben Jeroboam, and subsequently by Baasha ben Ahijah of the tribe of Issachar.
