What caused God to divide Israel into two kingdoms?

Answer According to the Bible, Rehoboam succeeded his father, Solomon, as king of a great united empire, but was not a good leader. He continue his father's unwise policy of swingeing taxes and then arrogantly increased them when the Israelites complained. In a very short time, the Israelites rebelled and he lost an empire, the United Monarchy of Israel. On this view, the split occurred around 921 BCE.

(1Kings 12:2-15; 2Chronicles 10:3-15; 13:6, 7)

However, it is reported that a majority of scholars believe that there never was a United Monarchy of Israel. They say that Israel and Judah were always separate, with their own customs and even different dialects of the Hebrew language. Arguably, the biblical authors created a United Israel in order to instil national unity and national pride, in a time of great difficulty for Judah, and they needed an explanation as to why this great empire ceased to exist. Rehoboam and his lack of proper leadership were the convenient explanation.

When was Isaiah in Israel?

In verse 1:1, Isaiah introduces himself as the son of Amoz and says that he is writing about events in Judah and Jerusalem during the reigns of Kings Uzziah (Azariah), Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah. Of course, he does not say his witness includes the entire reign of Uzziah, but even the reigns of just Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah spanned 55 years and Isaiah was a prophet in Judah for at least 40 of those years, during the late eighth and early seventh centuries BCE.

Isaiah, son of Amoz - also known as First Isaiah - should not be confused with an anonymous prophet now known as Second Isaiah, who lived during the latter part of the Babylonian Exile and was the author of Isaiah chapters 40 to 55, or with Third Isaiah, who lived in Judah some time after the Return from Exile.

Name one reason why the Jews consider it so important to live in Israel?

Israel is important to Jews because God promised it to Jacob (Genesis ch.28), the father of the Israelites, and his descendants. Jacob was renamed Israel by God (Genesis ch.35); and the Israelites lived in Israel during the era of the Patriarchs (220 years), during the era from Joshua until the First Destruction (850 years), during the Second Temple era (420 years) and afterwards. They remained a majority in the land for another 300 years after the Second Destruction; and a minority of Jews remained there throughout the ensuing centuries.
Israel had been the site of the First Temple, built by King Solomon; the dynasty of King David; the Second Temple, built by Ezra; and the Hasmonean Dynasty. It was where the Hebrew Prophets lived, and where the Mishna (Oral Torah) was codified. Also, many of the Torah's commands apply only in Israel.

See links:

  1. God promised the land to the Israelites many times.
  2. Jews have had a continuous presence in Israelfor over 3300 years. Of that time, the Jews were a majority in the land for around 1900 years.
  3. The Muslims' Qur'an clearly states that Israel belongs to the Jews.

Israel had nothing to do with the Iraq War from 2003-2011 and therefore contributed no soldiers to the effort. Israeli involvement would have further inflamed Arabs over the Iraqi occupation and would probably have mobilized Saudi Arabia and Iran to enter the war on Iraq's behalf.
