Who was the southern king of Israel?

The question as posed is impossible to answer. Reasons: Israel was the Northern Kingdom and Judah was the Southern Kingdom. As a result it is hard to tell which one you are referring to when you say "The Southern Kingdom of Israel". Secondly the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah reigned for a few hundred years and therefore had many kings. Without specifying an exact event or year or period, it would be impossible to know which king you want to know about.
