Saul and his men did not accept any plan to make David king. After Saul's death there was warring between Israel and Judah. David was made king over Judah and Saul's son made king over Israel. There was warring and covert acts which between the two until it was apparent that David could not be defeated.

Nowadays, Israel is not divided into two kingdoms, but thousands of years ago, Israel was split into two kingdoms called "Yehuda" and "Israel". Both kingdoms were Jewish and both had their own ledership, but only one kingdom, "Yehuda", was oficially ruling the land of Israel and Jerusalem
Primarily in the Book of Amos in the Old Testament:Amos 1:1New King James Version (NKJV) Amos 11 The words of Amos, who was among the sheepbreeders[a] of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
A:The Bible says that Ahaziah was king of Israel for about two years (approx 852-851 BCE). Another Ahaziah is recorded as king of Judah for one year (approx 843-842 BCE). Ahab's successors in Israel were his sons Ahaziah (parts of two years) and Jehoram (roughly seven according to 2 Chronicles, though the Deuteronomist gives him twelve years). In Judah, Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat reigned for at least seven years and Jehoram's son Ahaziah for less than a year. This means that Ahaziah and Jehoram ruled Israel for about eight years, and also that Jehoram and Ahaziah ruled Judah during approximately the same eight years.The duplication of the names, even if in reverse order, is startling and has led to speculation that Judah was really under Israelite rule for this period, which the southern scribes were unwilling to acknowledge. We will probably never know for certain, but it is possible that Ahaziah, son of Ahab, really was king of both Israel and a defeated Judah (followed by his brother Jehoram).
A:There are two kings Joash (with minor spelling variants) in the Bible; one was the king of Israel and the other was a king of Judah at about the same time. The Book of Kings was written in Judah, so all the kings of Israel, including Joash, are portrayed in a negative light. King Joash of Judah is also portrayed somewhat negatively because like all his predecessors he was polytheistic.Some historians believe, on substantive grounds, the two kings might have been the same person, reflecting a time when Judah might have been ruled by Israel, but if so this would have been wiped from the record by the Judahite scribes.
