Both Israel and Judah vacillate between faithfulness to the Lord and investing in many "faiths"--giving worship to Asheral, Baal, and the golden calves that Jereboam set up at two locations. Whenever the leaders turn from the worship of idols, the Lord "steps in" and gives military victories. Various kings are compared to David, who, according to scripture, was "faithful to God in everything, "...except in the case of Uriah the Hittite." (1 Kings 15:5c) And David repented of that...
Oh, to be faithful to God in everything...and repentant, too!
