| Saul | United Israel | 1050–1010 BC | Disobedient, prideful, impulsive. | First king; lost God’s favor for rebellion (1 Samuel 13–15). | Obedience is better than sacrifice. Pride destroys calling. |
| David | United Israel | 1010–970 BC | “A man after God’s heart.” | Defeated Goliath, united tribes, wrote many Psalms; sinned with Bathsheba. | Repentance restores what sin breaks. True leadership starts with humility. |

| Jehu | Israel | 841–814 BC | Zealous but incomplete. | Destroyed Ahab’s house but kept idolatry. | Partial obedience is still disobedience. |
| Joash (Jehoash) | Judah | 835–796 BC | Started faithful; ended corrupt. | Restored the Temple, then killed prophet Zechariah. | Faith without endurance collapses under pressure. |
| Amaziah | Judah | 796–767 BC | Mixed devotion. | Won victories but later worshiped idols. | Obedience must be complete; pride follows success. |
| Uzziah (Azariah) | Judah | 792–740 BC | Strong early; proud later. | Prosperous reign; struck with leprosy. | Pride brings downfall, even after blessing. |

| Zedekiah | Judah | 597–586 BC | Weak and fearful. | Last king before Babylonian exile. | Fear of man leads to ruin; disobedience ends in captivity. |
| Jeroboam II | Israel | 793–753 BC | Prosperous but ungodly. | Economic success, moral decline. | Prosperity without piety is empty. |
