The Israelites (the Hebrews) were not expelled from Israel soon after the end of King Ahab's rule. He was succeeded without issue by his son Ahaziah and the kingdom was more or less unchanged.
Eventually, the Assyrians conquered Israel and expelled the Israelites in 722 BCE. They did this in the typical fashion they had done to every previous empire that they had conquered. In the Ancient Period, people predominantly determined their identity in connection to the land they lived on rather than common culture or language which is used today. As a result, if you forced people to move to different lands, you could destroy their separate identity and make them less likely to revolt. In this regard, the Assyrians were successful and the Ten Israelite tribes in Israel have been lost to history.
