In the Kingdom Books, we see that God is a Promise Keeper. He had indeed given His people the land He had promised them, but the inhabitants were fierce, experienced warriors. It would have been an impossible mission had not the God of the universe, the all-powerful One, been on their side. Those entering the Promised Land were the children of those who had left Egypt; therefore, many of them had only heard of God's faithfulness as He led their parents through the wilderness to the Promised Land. Yet through Moses' capable leadership, they were strong in their faith and determined to obey the Living God and establish a land and a nation that would be a blessing to all the earth. So, with their confidence in Yahweh, the Israelites began the march into the land God had given them. The Kingdom Books, (Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings) include the conquering of the land, the ruling of the judges, and the uniting and the dividing of the kingdom. These books end with Israel conquered and scattered and Judah destroyed and exiled.
