Who is Kings from Who Wrote the Bible? and what is their importance?

King Jeroboam and King Rehoboam ruled the ancient Kingdom of Israel and Kingdom of Judah. At this time, the Jewish religion began to pull in different directions, with the northern Kingdom of Israel creating its own Temple. This situation fell apart when both kingdoms fell. King Hezekiah tried to centralize the religion in Jerusalem before the fall of Judah. After the end of exile, King Josiah again centralized the Jewish religion.
