İSRAİLOĞULLARI KRALLIĞINDA DAVUD VE SÜLEYMAN DÖNEMLERİ
DAVID AND SOLOMON IN THE ISRAELITE KINGDOM

Summary/Abstract: The Israelites, who got rid of their nomadic lifestyle and settled down, started to look for a stronger form of government. This community, which was first ruled by people called judges, later began to be ruled by the kingdom, which was a stronger administration due to environmental threats. The first king was Saul. After Saul, David, one of his commanders, succeeded to the throne. At that time, there was no set rule for the succession to the throne. For this reason, David appointed his son Solomon as his successor. The reigns of David and Solomon were the most brilliant periods of the kingdom. During this period, the kingdom gained superiority over the neighboring peoples. At the same time, borders were expanded in this period. Economic and political stability was achieved and the state saw its richest period. However, at the end of Suleiman's reign, the power of the state started to decline. Due to the excessive taxation during Suleiman's reign, the people were worn out and dualities emerged. For this reason, the people did not accept the kingdom of his son Rehoboam after Solomon. With Rehoboam's ascension to the throne, conflicts arose and the Kingdom of Israelites was divided into two as the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah.
