What as the language of the Jews in the Bible and today?

First don't make the mistake of assuming all Israel are Jews.... Which many people do. There are 12 tribes of Israel and Judah (Jews) is but one tribe. Further the tribe of Judah was not the tribe of the priests, it was the tribe of the kings of Judah. The people of the tribe of Judah who resided in Jerusalem with the tribe of Benjamin spoke Hebrew, until the time of Alexander the Great and later his general Ptolemy who forced the Greek language upon the people under their rule. This is why one observes the text shift from Hebrew to Greek between the old and New testaments.

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.

Why were Israel and Judah separate?

In the Bible, First Kings 12 records how the kingdom of Israel was split in two. King David's grandson, Rehoboam, was a king who made his people's lives difficult. He increased their taxes and forced them to work longer hours, even beating them for not working hard enough. Ten of the Israelite tribes revolted and formed a new kingdom called Israel; while the two southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin remained loyal to the family of King David. The two nations were eventually reunited, after both Judah and Israel had been defeated by their enemies (Babylon & Assyria) and carried away into slavery.

Did the northern kingdom of Israel outlast the southern kingdom?

What book of the bible - israel continues to sin against god is divided and goes into exile?

The sins of Israel is a continuous saga throughout the books of the Kings [I & II Samuel and I & II Kings]... with details regarding instances of both good and bad leadership of not just Israel's... but Judah's [Jewish] kings, also.Israel's split with the Jews, however, is detailed best in I Kings 12 with the death of Solomon who was the last Jewish king to rule over both Israel and the Jews [Judah].Solomon's heir, Rehoboam's unwillingness to ease up on the oppressive taxation of the people, in spite of the fact that the Temple was completed... resulted in Israel's splitting away from the young Jewish king's and Judah's rule:"So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? Neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their own tents." (I Kings 12:16)Few people understand the difference between Israel and the Jews [Judah] that they were two separate "Houses" or "Kingdoms." Their reference to "David," above, was referring to the two separate Promises of God to their father Abraham: a promise of "national prosperity," wealth and greatness; which went to Joseph [Ephraim and Manasseh - on whom was named the name 'Israel' -- see Gen.48:16] -- and the promise of "blessing" or "Salvation;" which is the Christ that went to the Jews [see Gen.49:8-12].Israel's reference to "David," and "Jesse" [David's Jewish father], above, was saying that there was no advantage to hang with the Jewish kingdom or any of their rulers any longer.Like most people... Israel wasn't interested in the "spiritual inheritance" of the Jews [Judah, of whom David, Solomon and Rehoboam were descendants] but in the material "good life!" Bountiful harvests, good wine, full bellies; the things that wealth and prosperity of a wealthy, powerful nation brings -- which was promised to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh [Joseph]... not the Jews.Israel didn't need the new spoiled young Jewish king, Rehoboam. They could [and did] produce a king of their own -- one formerly exiled Jeroboam. And all the tribes of Israel figured that as long as they hung together with Joseph's tribes, Ephraim and Manasseh, the prosperity promised to these tribes would "rub off on them"... and they would benefit from it, too.The beginnings of some the resulting sins of the new king of Israel completes II Kings 12, until God removed Israel from the land by the Assyrians, altogether, as recorded in II Kings 17:"...so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God... feared other gods, and walked in the statutes of the heathen... Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of His sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah [the House or Kingdom of the Jews]." (II Kings 17:7-18)The Kingdom of Judah, the Jews, would go into Babylonian exile later, of whom Jeremiah is the main prophet of record in this matter.But in II Kings 17 is where the House of Israel is finally scattered and disappears from world history.
