Exile and the Lost Tribes of Israel
Abstract
Every nation on earth craves stability, and the Jews of ancient Israel were no exception. Unfortunately, after King Solomon’s death, the tribes of Israel divided into two kingdoms; Israel in the north and Judah in the south. Many turbulent years followed, ending in exile for both kingdoms, and the disappearance of the ten tribes of Israel. This lesson explores some of the significant high points and low points of this era. Creative activities such as researching possible descendants of the lost tribes as well as engaging discussion questions are featured in this resource.
