When the kingdoms were joined together again, the problems that had caused the division would also be solved.
In the past, King Rehoboam’s harsh and unfaithful leadership divided the nation (1 Kings 12). Now God would give his people one servant leader, a shepherd king. Like David, this king would unite the tribes.
The restored people would also be made clean again. God would remove their idols and other sinful practices. The Lord would once again be their God.
After being made pure, they would obey the Lord’s laws and live in the land forever.
