They maintained the Davidic lineage, which was seen as the legitimate line of kingship according to Jewish tradition. They also centralized worship in Jerusalem and built the First Temple, thereby reinforcing religious practices and traditions.

The two tribes left in the south were Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, the far larger of which was Judah, so the southern kingdom came to be known as such. Therefore, those living in Judah, were called Jews. After the Babylonian exile, the kingdom of Israel to the north was dispersed, and the 10 tribes of that kingdom were lost, leaving only Judah to carry on the Israelite faith.
