Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, was entitled to a double portion in the inheritance (compare De 21:17), but he forfeited this right by committing incestuous immorality with his father's concubine. (Ge 35:22; 49:3, 4) These vacancies, the vacancy of Levi among the 12 as well as the absence of one with firstborn rights, had to be filled.
In a comparatively simple way God adjusted both matters by a single act. Joseph's two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, were advanced to full status as tribal heads. (Ge 48:1-6; 1Ch 5:1, 2) Again 12 tribes exclusive of Levi could be numbered, and also a double portion of the land was representatively given to Joseph the father of Ephraim and Manasseh. In this way the firstborn rights were taken away from Reuben, the firstborn of Leah, and given to Joseph, the firstborn of Rachel. (Ge 29:31, 32; 30:22-24) Now with these adjustments the names of the 12 (non-Levite) tribes of Israel were Reuben, Simeon, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Ephraim, Manasseh, Benjamin, Dan, Asher, Gad, and Naphtali.-Nu 1:4-15.
In David's reign, when the revolt by his son Absalom had been put down, all the tribes once again acknowledged David as king. Yet, in returning the king to his throne, a dispute arose over protocol, and in this matter the ten northern tribes called Israel were at odds with the men of Judah.-2Sa 19:41-43.
All 12 tribes were united in their support of David's son Solomon in his kingship. But upon his death in about 998 B.C.E. the dividing of the kingdom occurred. Only the tribes of Benjamin and Judah supported King Rehoboam, who sat on his father Solomon's throne in Jerusalem. Israel, consisting of the ten other tribes to the N and E, picked Jeroboam to be their king.-1Ki 11:29-37; 12:1-24; MAP, Vol. 1, p. 947.
By the time of Jehosaphat's rule, the kingdom of Israel han already been split. So from all this we can see that Judahwas a tribe of Israel with the city of Jerusalem as the seat of government for the two tribe kingdom (Judah and Benjamin) in the South. Eventually the southern two tribes came to be called Judah and the northern 10 tribes came to be called Israel.

There have been periods of desertification and deforestation, as well as environmental degradation due to agriculture and urbanization. Climate change has also led to shifts in precipitation patterns and temperatures, impacting the region's landscapes and ecosystems.
Can pure salt lose its saltiness?
Assuming you are referring to the passage in Matthew 5:13, I have heard (and this seems to make the most sense to me) that the "salt" Jesus is referring to is different that the salt we use today. The salt we use today is pure sodium chloride, and there is no way it could lose it's saltiness, but the salt they were acquainted with was a mixture of salt and other minerals (There was a lot of salt in the ground in the southern region of Judah, but they didn't have a way to isolate the pure salt). So often times when they would have a container of "salt", it would get wet, and the sodium chloride would seep out and leave behind the other minerals. Then their salt wouldn't have any "saltiness", and would be completely useless. Anyways I think the connection Jesus was trying to make was that we (Christians) are the salt of the world and one of the most valuable traits of salt (especially then, before refrigeration) is preservation. The world is always morally decaying, and one of the important roles of Christians in this world is being salt by preserving it, and not tolerating sin. Hope that helps, but I would love to hear other's opinions on this though. Max
