Question

Where have been the Book of Moses after King Solomon as it's mentioned in the Kings-II that one of the Kings found it after a long time and got the Commandments and Law of Moses implemented in the Israel.

I would like to know, was that book and guidance was not among them for a long time and was that the reason that the House of Isrel was digressing from the Words of Lord God and His Commandment and His Laws?

The Ark of the Covenant which held the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments also had a compartment which held the Torah (Law). You know anyone can read these laws in the Christian Bible they are in the Old Testament they are the Books Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
And yes for a time the Torah was lost to the Israelites that lived in the kingdom of Judah. And God fulfilled the prophesy and the kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Assyrians the 10 tribes were scattered and the kingdom of Judah was conquered by the Babylonians and the tribes of Judah and Benjamin were sent into exile because both nations fell into sin. The other thing which was lost was the oral teachings of the Torah. When the Israelites (Jews) returned from their exile to Jerusalem they had to restore the traditions which they had lost. That is why there were many different sects of Jews by 1 AD, each had their own way of interpreting the Torah.
