How was Israel divided? What were the ten northern tribes and two southern tribes?
Israel had been a divided nation for many, many years, with ten tribes located to the north and two tribes located to the south. The transcript states this division but does not identify the specific names of the ten northern tribes or the two southern tribes in this context.
Les teaches that Israel had been a divided nation for many, many years (s59-s60). He explains that there were ten tribes to the north and two tribes to the south (s61-s62). This discussion follows a return to 2 Kings chapter 17, where the previous program ended at verse 23 (s55-s58). In this unit, Les does not name the individual tribes that made up the ten northern tribes or the two southern tribes; he only states the number and their general location.
Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.
