From ChatGPT – Q: List of monarchs from Jacob to Zedikiah<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The monarchs of the Kingdom of Judah from Rehoboam<\/strong> (son of Solomon) to Zedekiah<\/strong> (the last king before the Babylonian exile) are as follows. Since you\u2019re asking from Jacob<\/strong> (Israel\u2019s patriarch) to Zedekiah<\/strong>, note that Jacob\u2019s name was changed to Israel<\/strong> and was the father of the twelve tribes; thus, he wasn\u2019t a monarch in the kingdom sense but the forefather. Here is the list of kings in the line from the unified kingdom (Saul, David, Solomon) down through the southern kingdom of Judah after the split:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  2. David<\/strong> (founder of the Davidic line)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Solomon<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    After Solomon, the kingdom divided into Israel (Northern Kingdom)<\/strong> and Judah (Southern Kingdom)<\/strong>. The following kings are from Judah<\/strong> (David\u2019s descendants).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
