We gain insight into the reasons motivating this G-d-fearing king and wisest of human beings to marry a large number of foreign women. The story continues with the tragic split of Eretz Yisrael into two kingdoms. The establishment of images under Yeravam's rule led to idol worship and eventually to the Ba'al-cult in Achav's time. To counteract it, the miracle worker and prophet Eliyahu was sent to that kingdom. Teachings and parables drawn from our sages are woven into the text, aiding us in incorporating their lessons into our daily lives. As its name implies, \"The Family Midrash Says\" is meant to be read and enjoyed by all family members.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecommended from age 10 and up.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bnei Yaakov Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45685519745220,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/2886\/6244\/files\/7A7693E1-33DA-4191-82A3-65F16FA7B9A7.jpg?v=1768493229","url":"https:\/\/kingston-judaica.myshopify.com\/products\/the-family-midrash-says-the-book-of-melachim-kings-1","provider":"Kingston Judaica","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
