11. Solomon was the third king of Israel and the son of King David. He is known for his wisdom, wealth, and building projects, including the Temple in Jerusalem. Solomon's reign lasted from around 970 to 931 BCE. During his time, he expanded the kingdom's borders and established trade routes. He was also known for his diplomatic relationships with foreign nations and his extensive writing, including the Song of Solomon and Proverbs.12. After Solomon's death, the kingdom of Israel split into two: the northern kingdom, known as Israel, and the southern kingdom, known as Judah. This division occurred because Solomon's son Rehoboam, who became the king of Judah, was not accepted by the northern tribes. The northern tribes preferred Jeroboam, a former official of Solomon, who then became the king of Israel.13. The northern tribes rebelled against Rehoboam's rule because they felt that he was too heavy-handed and demanded too much in taxes and labor. They believed that Jeroboam, who had been anointed as a prophet by Elijah, would be a better ruler. This led to the establishment of the northern kingdom, known as Israel, with Jeroboam as its first king.14. Both the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel eventually fell to foreign powers. The northern kingdom, Israel, was conquered by the Assyrian Empire in 722 BCE. The southern kingdom, Judah, was initially able to maintain its independence but was later conquered by the Babylonian Empire in 586 BCE. The Babylonians destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem and exiled the Jewish people to Babylon.
