When did the Hebrews end?

What used to be called Hebrews is now the Jews, and we're still around. Scholars may refer to the Israelites as Hebrews down to and including the time of the Kings (not later), but we ourselves used the name "Hebrews" only down to the time of the Forefathers. After that it was Bnei Yisrael (Children of Israel); Israelites. The term "Hebrews" (Ivrim) was used by us after the time of the Forefathers only when we were talking to non-Jews (Pharaoh or others), who begrudged us the honorable title of Israelites (Hebrews is, technically, more generic).
