Background | Like the books of Samuel, the books of Kings were originally one book but divided into two by the Greek translators of the original Hebrew. While 2 Samuel leaves off near the end of David’s reign, 1 and 2 Kings take us from the reign of Solomon to the catastrophic division of Israel into northern and southern factions. The northern kingdom was made up of ten tribes and often referred to in the Old Testament as Ephraim, the name of the largest tribe, or Israel. The southern kingdom was made up of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and was typically referred to as Judah. Even more unthinkable than the divided monarchy and the civil war that ensued was the fall of the northern kingdom to Assyria in 722 BC and then the fall and exile of the southern kingdom to Babylon in 586 BC.

Jubilate
Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands;
serve the Lord with gladness
and come before his presence with a song.
serve the Lord with gladness
and come before his presence with a song.
Know this: The Lord himself is God;
he himself has made us, and we are his;
we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
he himself has made us, and we are his;
we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
go into his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and call upon his Name.
go into his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and call upon his Name.
For the Lord is good;
his mercy is everlasting;
and his faithfulness endures from age to age.
his mercy is everlasting;
and his faithfulness endures from age to age.
