The Kingdoms of Israel
The historical kingdom of Israel existed as a united kingdom for only a brief period of time. As related in the Old Testament and the Hebrew Bible, it lasted for just a few generations. According to archaeologists, the Israelite kingdom might never have been unified; the division between Judah and Israel may have been always been the historical fact. We have kept the traditional list here with the House of David ruling a unified Israel, but it may have been the case that David ruled just in Judah.
