1. Hebrew Kings
Social Studies for 10th E.G.B. | Teacher: Mauricio Torres

2. Kings Unite the Israelites
 After they returned to
Canaan a new threat arose
to challenge the
Israelites, they were the
philistines.
 They lived along the
Mediterranean and during
the mid-1000s they invaded
Canaan.

3. Saul
 Out of fear, the Israelites
banded together under a single
ruler that led them into battle.
His name was Saul.
 He was a brilliant military
commander, but he was never
able to unite the tribes fully
under his command. This was
because he was not a rich
man, and was looked down
upon by the others.

4. David
 He was an admired poet
(he wrote many psalms)
and a skilled soldier.
 Unlike Saul, the Israelites
loved him, and when he
became the king, he had
full support of tribal leaders.
He established the capital
in Jerusalem.

5. David
 At a young age, he
whad been a sheperd.
He soon rose to
prominence after he
slew Goliath, a
Philistine giant.

6. Solomon
 David's son. He took the
throne in 965 BC. Like his
father he was a strong king
and expanded his
kingdom, as far as making
Egypt and Phoenicia his
allies.
 Trade with his allies made
him a rich man and king. With
these riches, he built a great
temple dedicated to God. It
later became the center of of
Israel's religious life and a
national symbol of their faith.

7. Ask Yourselves
 Compare:
 In which circumstances did each King rise to power? How
are they different?
 Analyze:
 Why was Saul not liked by his people, but at the same
time chosen as a King?
 Explain:
 Where did Salomon get his enormous wealth from?
 Why was David so revered by the Hebrews?
