I don’t need to remind you that this is an election year in America. Last year the world was amazed as we watched the death of Queen Elizabeth and installation of Charles as King in England. Come with me again back to ancient Israel and let’s see how they handled leadership transitions and what we can learn from it today.

This division occurred at the death of King Solomon, when his son King Rehoboam assumed the throne of “Judah“; and his rival, King Jeroboam set up his throne over “Israel” in Samaria.
