King Saul.

Archaeologists such as Israel Finkelstein of Tel Aviv University say there is no evidence there ever was a United Monarchy of Israel. It is likely that the legend that Kings Saul, David and Solomon ruled over a magnificent united Hebrew kingdom came about after the Assyrian conquest of Israel in 722 BCE. By the time of the Babylonian Exile, the people of Judah, the southern kingdom, were beginning to refer to themselves as 'Israelites' and were beginning to see themselves as the true inheritors of the rich Israelite territory.
