King Solomon was in face not the 1st king of Israel. The first King of Israel is King Saul, He was appointed King by the Prophet Samuel, Saul was considered a horrible King due to his sense of humility, but after awhile Saul became the King the Jews wanted / needed. King Saul's Reign only lasted two years due to defying the commandment of God, he did not wipe out the anti-Jew race ( sorry forgot what their name was ).
According to The Bible, Saul was the first king of Israel.
However, most modern historians of early Israel do not believe that there was ever a United Monarchy in Israel, so if Saul was ever a king, he was only the king of Judah, the small Hebrew enclave to the south of Israel. Secondly, biblical scholars say that the biblical portrayal of Saul is as a local warlord, who held council under a tree, not a powerful king with unchallenged authority, as we understand the term.
In the absence of a United Monarchy, Jeroboam would be the first king of Israel (1 Kings 12:20) - after Rehoboam became king of Judah on the death of his father Solomon. However, some scholars believe that the first real king of Israel was Omri(c. 880 BCE).
