It presents the underlying factors that destabilised the country during the lifetimes of David and Solomon as well as the power-play between Rehoboam and Jeroboam. The political developments in Lesotho are then read against these underlying factors.enFaculty of Theology, University of PretoriaOld TestamentBible -- O.T. -- Criticism, interpretation, etc.Israel -- Politics and governmentLesotho -- Politics and governmentArticle
