Before kingdoms fell, before exile scattered a nation, before a Messiah was promised, there was a family chosen by God - gifted, flawed, and deeply human.

From the closing days of David's life to the fragile brilliance of Solomon's reign, A Broken Crown follows the unfolding tension between calling and weakness, inheritance, and identity. The House of David rises in strength, fractures through conflict, and endures through the unwavering commitment of God's covenant.

Drawing on years of teaching Scripture and exploring the Hebraic foundations of the biblical text, Ely Hernandez brings forward the emotional and theological depth of Israel's royal history. This work examines not only what happened, but what it means for those today who wrestle with generational patterns, spiritual longing, and the legacy they hope to leave behind.
More than historical reflection, this book offers a lens for understanding the cycles that shape families, the wounds passed from one generation to the next, and the grace that interrupts those cycles with divine restoration.

Brokenness is not the final chapter.
It is the place where God begins His work.

For students of Scripture, seekers of healing, and anyone carrying a fractured inheritance, A Broken Crown points toward the promise of the true King - the One whose crown will never break.
