"The Lord has said, 'Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand' (Matthew 12:25). A great lesson to be learned in life is to live in harmony with others. Where there is disharmony, unhappiness and tragedy result. On the other hand, where there is harmony, happiness and progress follow. Not only is this true in nations or kingdoms, but it is also true in personal and family relationships. Harmonious relationships can be developed and enhanced by understanding and applying insights from the scriptures.
"Notice how the kings of Israel and Judah present both good and bad examples of the application of these principles."
