Answer 2

A:The northern Hebrew Kingdom was called Israel. From its inception perhaps around 900 BCE until its final destruction in 722, it occupied most of the area to the west of the River Jordan, between Philistia and Judah to the south and the Jesreel Valley, just below the Sea of Galilee, to the north. There was a brief period of expansion under the Omrite dynasty, but Israel was later curtailed to the area around the capital city of Samaria.

The southern Hebrew Kingdom was called Judah. It occupied the hinterland between the Dead Sea to the east and Philistia, with Israel to the north and the Negev to the south.

Biblical tradition says that for around a century prior to around 900 BCE, there was a United Monarchy, also called Israel but under the domination of Judahite kings. However, many scholars believe there never was a United Monarchy, and that Israel and Judah were always separate, with separate cultures, pottery styles and even dialects of the Hebrew language. Prior to 1000 BCE, there was only a group of separate tribes that came together in times of distress, as for example in the Song of Deborah (Judges 5:2-31), which lists the tribes that fought a common enemy and those that refused.

Israel and Judah were at times close allies, but also at times enemies.Judah long outlasted Israel, but it also fell to conquerors and many of its people went into exile. At this point, some of the Jewish prophets began to see Israel as part of Judah heritage. On the one hand, Jeremiah stringently observed the distinctions between the separate nations of Israel and Judah, especially in the early chapters. Whether or not the distance of exile affected his outlook, Ezekiel broke completely with prevailing reality in order to initiate (or return to) an idealistic, even utopian, view of Israel as the single people of God. For Ezekiel, 'Israel' was a single people related to an undivided land. This was to become the orthodox view of the Jewish people after the Return from the Babylonian Exile.
