This ten-tribe kingdom was called Israel, or Ephraim, whilst the two-tribes were called Judah. The people of all these tribes, for the most part, followed Solomon's bad example - they claimed to believe in the true God, whilst at the same time worshipping the idols of the surrounding nations.
Huu ufalme wa kabila kumi uliitwa Isrraeli,au Efraimu, ambapo makabila mawili yaliitwa Yuda. Watu wote wa kabila hizi kwa sehemu kubwa walifuata mfano mbaya wa Suleimani - walidai kumwamini Mungu wa kweli, wakati huo huo wakiendelea kuziabudu sanamu za mataifa waliowazunguka.
