The Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah.
AnswerThe population of Israel and Judah was entirely Semitic, so the twelve tribes of Israel were all Semitic.
There are no pictures of the twelve tribes of Judah. The twelve tribes of Judah were said to exist after 1200 BC, before photography.
The two tribes that remained in the southern kingdom of Judah were Judah and Benjamin.
After King Solomon's death, Israel separated into two Kingdoms - the Northern Kingdom of Israel which consisted primarily of 10 of the 12 tribes of Israel, and the Southern Kingdom of Judah which consisted primarily of tribe of Judah and Benjamin. It should be noted however, that each Kingdom had members of all 12 tribes of Israel.
The Twelve Tribes of Judah are more properly called the Twelve Tribes of Israel (since they are all descended from Israel, not Judah). Each of the Tribes has its own symbol, relating to its history. Examples include the Lion as the symbol of Judah, the Sailboat as the symbol of Zebulun, the Tree as the symbol of Asher, and the Wolf as the symbol of Benjamin. The most common symbol representing all twelve tribes is the breastplate of the High Priest adorned with twelve semi-precious and precious stones representing the twelve tribes. This is called Avnei Ha-Khoshan in Hebrew. A link to an image of this is provided.
The order of birth of the 12 tribes of Israel is as follows: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin.
