After Solomon, these are the kings who "did what was right in God's eyes": Asa (1 Kings 15:11), Yehoshaphat (1 Kings 22:43), Yehoash (2 Kings 12:3), Amatziah (2 Kings 14:3), Azariah (2 Kings 15:3), Yotam (2 Kings 15:34), Hizkiah (2 Kings 18:3), and Josiah (2 Kings 22:2).
According to the Books of Kings, written in the southern kingdom, Judah, every king of the northern kingdom, Israel, was absolutely polytheistic. If the term 'godly' is meant to imply service to the God of Judaism, then the evidence is that Israel and its kings were certainly not godly.
Solomon did not specifically order the killing of Joab in the Bible. However, Joab was executed by King Solomon's command for his previous actions and loyalties to other kings, as recounted in 1 Kings 2:28-34.
-----------------------There are two biblical narratives that tell of Solomon's succession to David. The first narrative, in 1 Kings, is somewhat muddled and ends with David, on his deathbed choosing Solomon to be his successor. The second narrative is in 1 Chronicles, which was a later rewrite of the Book of Kings and other books in the Deuteronomic history. Possibly recognising the problems inherent in the account in 1 Kings, the Chronicler simply has David, while still healthy and active, announce that God has chosen Solomon as his heir.Since Solomon had older brothers, it was not anticipated in the 1 Kings story that Solomon would ever be king, until David was near death, so there was no reason for David to prepare him to be king. The story in 1 Chronicles is more flexible, since David had some time, perhaps years, to prepare Solomon to be king, before his own death.
Solomon, Rehoboam, and Jeroboam were all kings in ancient Israel. Solomon was known for his wisdom and wealth, Rehoboam was Solomon's son who ruled after him and led to the split of the kingdom, and Jeroboam was the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel after the split. They were all key figures in the history of Israel.
Yes, King Solomon had ruled Judah and Israel (The First Book of Kings, chapter one). In contrast, King Hezekiah ruled the Kingdom of Judah many centuries later, after Israel had broken away from the rule of Jerusalem. (The Second Book of Kings, chapter eighteen).
