Judah was the southern kingdom of divided Israel. It consisted of those areas, primarily the tribal lands of Judah and Benjamin, that remained loyal to King Rehoboam, the son of King Solomon, when the northern tribes of Israel revolted and named as their king Jeroboam. Unlike the Northern kingdom of Israel, which rebelled against God, worshiped pagan gods, and disobeyed divine commandments, in most of its history, Judah loyally worshiped God.
