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.


Who was the southern king of Israel?

The question as posed is impossible to answer. Reasons: Israel was the Northern Kingdom and Judah was the Southern Kingdom. As a result it is hard to tell which one you are referring to when you say "The Southern Kingdom of Israel". Secondly the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah reigned for a few hundred years and therefore had many kings. Without specifying an exact event or year or period, it would be impossible to know which king you want to know about.

Why the name Israel instead of Judah?

When the state was first established, the people who established it were strictly secularists, and there was a militant "rebellion against the past." The name "Judah" is a bit too ancient sounding, too archaic. Israel is ancient too, but it is nowhere near as archaic sounding. In the actual ancient times, when the unified Kingdom of David split into the northern Kingdom of Israel, and the southern Kingdom of Judah, the northern kingdom was renamed "Israel" to rebel against the rule of the tribe of Judah. The northern Israelites, had rejected Judaism in favor of pagan worship, religious split is what caused the division.
