In 1100 B.C.E., the Israelites called for a king primarily due to a desire for centralized leadership to unify the tribes and provide security against external threats, particularly from neighboring nations like the Philistines. They were dissatisfied with the existing system of judges, which was seen as ineffective in addressing their challenges and maintaining order. Additionally, they sought to emulate other nations that had monarchies, believing a king would bring stability and strength to their society.

The people of Judah adopted monotheistic Judaism during the seventh-century-BCE reign of King Josiah. At this stage it was limited to the city of Jerusalem and its immediate surrounds, still under the control of the king of Judah.
