Israel had ceased to exist in 722 BCE, so had no kings either in the second century BCE or the second century CE.
The separate nation of Judah was under Syrian rule until the second century BCE, when Judas ben Mattathias led a revolt, which succeeded under the brothers Judas and Simeon Maccabeus. In 164, Judas occupied Jerusalem and purified the Temple, and in 141 Simeon removed the Seleucid garrison that still occupied the fortress of Acra. The Hasmonaean monarchy effectively began with Simeon, who ruled from 142 to 134 BCE.

It depends on how you perceive the Hasmonean Dynasty (the dynasty set up by the Maccabees). Most of its Kings were relatively draconian and authoritarian, but they were Jewish. Israel was not under foreign occupation for barely more than a century before being conquered by Rome.
They are the generations of kings of the Israelites who ruled over the two separate houses of "Israel" and "Judah" (the Jews) after David's death, through the House of Israel's scattering by Assyria... and the House of Judah's (the Jew's) captivity by Babylon some 130 years after Israel disappeared.They also chronicle some of the kings' behavior and God's Prophets' warnings and interaction with them.First and second Kings, according to the KJV subtitles them: "Commonly called THE THIRD AND FOURTH BOOKS OF THE KINGS"... with first and second "Samuel" being the "otherwise called the FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS OF KINGS."I Samuel actually begins the chronicling of the kings of Israel, beginning with Israel's emerging from the "Judges" era... their rejection of God as their Sovereign King, and the anointing of Saul.
Yes, during the centuries of the Judges and Kings. During Second Temple times there were Jews and non-Jews in Israel (Judea).
No. The second shortest reign was Shallum, a king of Israel who reigned one month. (2 Kings 15.13)
1 King refers to the first book of 1 Kings in the Old Testament. 1 Kings and 2 Kings tell the stories of some the kings of Judah and Israel.
they were not kings as Saul was their first king.
No, the northern kingdom of Israel had more wicked kings than godly kings. The majority of the kings of the northern kingdom of Israel were described as doing evil in the sight of the Lord according to the Bible.
1 Kings was likely written in the 6th century BCE, during the late First Temple period in ancient Israel.

AnswerThe biblical view is that Kings David and Solomon ruled Israel at the height of its powers, during the tenth century BCE. During the early to middle twentieth century, archaeologists dated many important finds by the biblical stories of those kings; they seemed so well to fit the prosperity of the United Monarchy. Many modern archaeologists now recognise that the finds they had dated to the tenth century BCE, in order to harmonise there discoveries with the biblical accounts, really belonged to a much later period. They now say that Israel was at the height of its powers in the ninth century, under Kings Omri and Ahab. The southern Hebrew kingdom, Judah, was still only a backwater, while Israel was expanding aggressively among its neighbours.
A:There was no king of Israel in the sixth century BCE, since Israel had ceased to exist in 722 BCE when conquered and destroyed by the Assyrians. The last king of Israel was Hoshea. The last king of Judah, when it was overrun in 587-586 BCE, was Zedekia.
The last Judge who anointed two Kings was the prophet Samuel. He anointed Saul as the first king of Israel and later anointed David as the second king.
A:The Old Testament lists 20 kings of Judah after Solomon, beginning with Rehoboam, depending on whether Gedaliah should be counted as a king or an administrator. There are also 20 kings listed for Israel, beginning with Jereboam. However, many scholars believe that Omri was really the first king of Israel, preceded by various warlords or city rulers, which would mean only 15 kings of Israel. They suggest that Judah probably did not become a territorial kingdom until the eighth century BCE.
