He built the first temple in Jerusalem.When Solomon died, the nation of Israel divided into two kingdoms. The kingdom in the north was still called Israel. The kingdom in the south was called Judah.The other chapters of 2 Chronicles are about the kings of Judah. Some of them were good kings but many of them were bad. They did not worship God. God sent prophets to tell them to turn back to him, but they still did not worship him. So God sent the Babylonians to take the people of Israel away from their land for about 70 years.
