2. 5 (the Kings) Saul is anointed as the first King of Israel

   • Possibly had schitzophrenia
   • Had a harp player named David to calm him when God sends an evil spirit to trouble him
     • Saul allows David to marry his daughter and to go to battle with him, when they return from battle the people praise David more than Saul saying that "Saul has slain his thousands and David his tens of thousands.
       • Saul is constantly paranoid that David would replace him as King
         • Saul dies in battle and David replaces him as King (lol)
           • David+Bathsheba
             • Not David's wife but Uriah's, (one of David's soldiers)
             • God makes a covenant with David: his throne shall endure forever
             • David sleeps with Bathsheba while Uriah is at war and impregnates her
               • When Uriah returns, he tries to get hm to sleep with Bathsheba so that it will seem like Uriah got her pregnant
                 • Uriah refuses so, David has Uriah killed while he is in battle
               • Their first son dies as a punishment from God but, their second son, Solomon, lives

                   • Known for his wisdom
                     • The judgement of Solomon
                   • Wrote the books of the Bible: Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon
                   • Have a son named Rehoboam

                         • 7 (Elixe)Conquered by the Assyrians
                           • Assyrians are extremely brutal and use their victim's body parts as decorations
                             • Assyrians try to conquer the southern kingdom but fail
                               • This is strange considering Assyria has an amazing army and the southern kingdom (Judah) is nothing compared to them
                                 • Sennacherib's prism gives us proof of this as it ends saying he surrounded Hezekiah (Judah's current King) but does not say he takes over Judah
                                   • Judah is conquered by Babylon and they also force them to scatter
                                     • They do this to reduce the risk of the people reuniting and rebelling against them
                                     • They destroy the First Temple that Solomon built
                                     • 8 (Post-Exile)The Persian Empire conquers Babylon
                                       • They also get permission to rebuild their Temple

                           • The Assyrians force the Israelites to diaspora throughout the empire
                             • The Israelites that are scattered eventually disappear and become known as the "ten lost tribes of Israel"
                         • The two are in a Civil War throughout Rehoboam's 17-year reign
                         • Also known as Samaria

             • David commits: Adultery, Murder, and rape
         • David won't kill Saul because he is one of God's anointed and he doesn't want it to seem like anyone can become King by killing

   • Structured like Genesis
     • (when talking about Moses) says: "He was beautiful" relates to when God says "It was good"

   • 430 years pass between Genesis and Exodus
