Into what two kingdoms was Israel divided after the death of Solomon?
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.

Is Judah in Israel?
The former kingdom of Judah is now part of modern Israel and partly in the Palestinian Territory. Judah was a small inland enclave surrounding the city of Jerusalem and quite separate from the kingdom of Israel to its north. Biblical tradition holds that in former times, Judah and Israel had formed a United Monarchy, also known as Israel, but noted archaeologists such as Israel Finkelstein say that this was never the case. Judah and Israel were always separate and had their own separate culture, pottery styles and even their own separate dialects of the Hebrew language.

Was Israel or Judah the greater nation when divided and why?
A:According to the Bible, Israel became a divided nation approximately 921 BCE, when Israel broke away from its Judahite oppressors. However, modern scholars see the history of Israel and Judah differently, and say they may never have been divided, because they were never united. Finkelstein and Silberman (The Bible Unearthed) believe that the kingdoms of Israel and Judah were always separate, with different life styles, different pottery, different myths and legends, and even speaking different dialects of Hebrew.Whether or not the biblical account of a previously united Israel has any historical basis, there is no doubt that Israel was economically and militarily more powerful than Judah. It had a larger territory, more fertile soil and higher rainfall. As a result, Israel had a much larger population than did Judah. In fact, archaeologists have determined that the Hebrew settlement of Judah was rather late, and that Hebrews did not really spread south into the poorer area of Judah until Israel was relatively well settled. Because Judah was more mountainous than Israel, it had a defensive advantage in that Jerusalem was more easily defended than Samaria and other cities in Israel.Israel was a rich prize and more easily conquered than Judah, and so was overrun and destroyed in 722 BCE by the Assyrian army.
