The word 'Palestine' is a Greek corruption of 'Philistine', in other words attributing the Palestine region to the land of the Philistines. In fact, the Philistines really only occupied the coastal plain and foothills from the Egyptian border north to approximately where modern Tel Aviv is situated. Palestine, Israel and Judah represent different political and geographic entities: Modern Israel and the Palestinian Territoriestogether occupy the territory known as Palestine prior to 1948, when the modern state of Israel was formed. Judah was the southern Hebrew kingdom and, although the borders were flexible, generally occupied a small, inland territory to the west of the Dead Sea. Ancient Israel was the much larger northern Hebrew kingdom that existed from the tenth century BCE to the eighth century BCE. Once again, the borders were flexible, but for much of this time, Israel occupied the inland territory north of Judah and extending north to the Jezreel Valley. In the period leading up to its final conquest, Israel only occupied the city of Samaria and its immediate environs. During the period known as the United Kingdom, The Bible says that Israel occupied a territory that included most of Palestine, including Judah, and possibly some further conquered territories. However, some scholars dispute this record.

When was the State of Israel formed out of Palestine?
Israel was declared an independent Jewish State on May 14, 1948. However, the phrasing of the question makes implicit assumptions that must be dealt with. It would seem from the way that the question is written that Palestine was a country and then one day, and was renamed Israel the next day. This is not the case. Palestine was a territorial name in the same way that the Riviera in southwestern Europe is a territorial name. It just happens that some of the Riviera is in France and some in Italy. Israel was a state that declared independence in that territory, which was a British Mandate at the time. There were still areas of Palestine that did not become part of Israel. Most of the Arab Palestinians did not consider Israel to be their state and would later identify with the Palestinian State declared in absentia in 1988 and recognized in the Oslo Accords of 1993.

Which country became independent legally Israel or Palestine?
Why do I have to choose? According to UN Resolution 181, the Mandate of Palestine was divided into a Jewish and an Arab State with each state being given the right to become independent in the territory. The Jews declared independence according to this permission in 1948 with the State of Israel. The Arabs used this permission to declare a state-in-absentia in 1988 called Palestine. In 1993, the Oslo Accords granted land to the Palestinian Authority, the same agency that declared a State of Palestine. The International Court of Justice held that the UN Resolution worked as a legal basis for both Israel and Palestine.
Was there ever Israel and Palestine at the same time?
Yes. It exists right now. The Palestinian Authority is the Palestinian State and the Modern State of Israel exists right next to it. Admittedly, they are not at peace, but you have both states.

Was jeroboam good king or a bad king?
A:There are two kings Joash (with minor spelling variants) in the Bible; one was the king of Israel and the other was a king of Judah at about the same time. The Book of Kings was written in Judah, so all the kings of Israel, including Joash, are portrayed in a negative light. King Joash of Judah is also portrayed somewhat negatively because like all his predecessors he was polytheistic.Some historians believe, on substantive grounds, the two kings might have been the same person, reflecting a time when Judah might have been ruled by Israel, but if so this would have been wiped from the record by the Judahite scribes.
