Israel’s United Kingdom– This period in Israel’s history witnesses the transition from the 12-tribe arrangement to a central monarchy. Yet, the real story is in the analysis of the three men who serve as Israel’s first three kings. One is a tall, handsome champion who develops a corrupt heart, one is the shepherd-king who prefigures the coming Christ, and one is the wisest man on earth who turns his back on God at the end of his life. Not only does this period contain important developments in Old Testament history, it is an insightful study into human potential, tragedy, and complexities.
