Warm Up Why did pharaoh turn the Israelites into slaves?
Remember: • Abraham • Isaac • Jacob (Israel) • Joseph (Israelites move to Egypt) • Moses brings Israel out of Egypt
Where we left off: • Moses wandered in the desert for forty years. • Moses gets mad and does something on his own that the Lord did not instruct him to do • Moses not allowed to enter the promise land, but is allowed to see it • Joshua leads Israel back into the promise land
Back in Canaan • Other groups are now living in the land: Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, Jebusites, Canaanites • Joshua begins fighting with these other societies • Israel ruled by judges after the death of Joshua 1380 BCE – 1050 BCE • Around 1200 BCE Israel controls Canaan again • Israel asks for a king (1 Samuel 8:19-22)
Israel’s First King King Saul Of the tribe of Benjamin Was a head taller than anyone else Israel’s last ruling judge, Samuel, anoints Saul king Saul attacks Philistines and pushes them out of Canaan

Saul was too scared to face Goliath • A man named Jesse, of the tribe of Judah, sent his three oldest sons to fight alongside Saul • Jesse sends his youngest son, David, to the battle field with food for his brothers • David sees a Philistine mocking Israel’s army and is outraged. He goes to speak to King Saul 1 Samuel 17:32 - 51
Saul Gets Jealous Saul makes two attempts to try to kill David David has two opportunities to kill Saul David is crowned the King of Judah and then Israel He attacks the Jebusites and takes over Jerusalem
David David united the two kingdoms of Judah and Israel into one nation David was both king and chief priest He made Jerusalem their capital city and brought the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem making it the “holy city”
Solomon David wanted to build a temple dedicated to God, but was told that it would be his son that builds this great temple. Solomon (David’s son) received very specific instructions from the Lord on how to build this temple. Nothing like this had ever been built before
The Temple • After Pharaoh Amenhotep II loses his son, he allows the Israelites to leave.
After Solomon 931 BCE Israel and Judah separate into separate kingdoms again 900 BCE Assyrian Empire threatens Jerusalem Isaiah 20
The Kingdom of Israel After being protected from the Assyrians, the people of Israel got complacent. They no longer followed the laws given to Moses. They lived however they wanted and even followed foreign gods
