Best Answer

The southern Hebrew kingdom, a small inland enclave to the west of the Dead Sea, was known in ancient times as Judah. Biblical tradition says that for a period in the tenth century BCE, it formed a United Monarchy with the northern kingdom of Israel until the Israelites threw off the oppressive rule of their southern neighbours after the death of King Solomon. However, modern archaeologists find no evidence of the glorious biblical United Monarchy, and Israel Finkelstein says that Judah was simply too small and weak at this stage to control its far larger and more prosperous northern neighbour.
