Saul, David, and Solomon were the only three kings to rule over the whole House of Israel before they split into separate Northern and Southern Kingdoms. God makes His Word come to pass when He declared that the birthright would go to Joseph and ruler-ship to Judah. The Northern Tribes get the promise to become a multitude of nations, and history proves God's faithfulness to His Word. Romans 4, 10; 1Kings 11, 12; Genesis 17. LF-0187   © Copyright 1980
