Prior to the Kingdom was the era of the Judges; three centuries from Joshua until Samuel.
The Israelites, at the time of Samuel, were coming to the end of an era which was unique in world history. They had undertaken a grand experiment: whether a nation could govern themselves for centuries without a king or organized government.
Instead, there were the officers of tens, fifties, hundreds and thousands (Exodus ch.18), and the court of Elders, who were Torah-scholars that provided Torah-rulings and guidance. Each of the leading Judges (Gideon, Deborah etc.) was a private citizen (not a head of government) who led the nation only during a brief episode of battle.
During that era (of the Judges, about 350 years), when someone raised the possibility of having a king, the answer was: God will rule over you, not a king (Judges 8:23). The events of the Exodus and the Giving of the Torah were so fresh in the nation's memory that they didn't need a king; God was their King. (The missteps which did take place in that era, is a subject beyond the scope of the present question.)
In Samuel's old age, more than three centuries after the Exodus, the people (including their Torah-scholars) felt that the time had come to take a regular government. The Torah itself permitted this (Deuteronomy ch.17); and they saw that Samuel's sons didn't seem to have reached his spiritual level (1 Samuel 8:2-3).
They asked Samuel for a king, and he anointed Saul at the command of God. After Saul was found wanting, Samuel anointed King David.

Since Israel has no official state religion, its political leaders are not religious leaders, and its religious leaders are not political leaders, in contrast to some other countries in the region and elsewhere.
AnswerThe Bible says that after the death of Solomon, the northern tribes rebelled from the kingdom of Israel and created their own kingdom called Israel, while the former kingdom settled for the name Judah.However, some scholars believe that there was no King Solomon and that there never was a United Monarchy of Israel. They say that Israel and Judah were always separate, with their own pottery styles, culture and distinct dialects of the Hebrew language.
There is no such thing as 'The United Nation of Israel', however Israel is a member of the UN. Some people refer to the Davidic and Solomonic Kingdom of Israel as the "United Kingdom of Israel" to avoid confusing it for the later and distinct "Kingdom of Israel". Both of these kingdoms occurred between 1000 B.C.E. and 500 B.C.E. and are unrelated politically to the Modern State of Israel. (This is similar to how the Roman Empire is unrelated politically to the Republic of Italy even though they occupy some of the same territories.)
