Usually this happened when they were not following God's commandments as a whole, or the King of the time was not listening to the commandments. The prophet Samuel warned the Israelites that they would be judged largely by the conduct of their human king when the people were demanding a human king be anointed for them. They wanted a human king anyway and often times paid the price for his actions by losing God's protection and blessing when the king acted in an unrighteous manner. In many cases, it was during a time of suffering that they would cry out to God and he would come to their aid. This type of event happened over and over during the times of the Kings whether it was the southern or northern kingdom.

They continue to follow the Law of Moses. They do not have a close relationship with God. Christianity is a relationship, not a religion. Christians believe that Jesus was the Messiah, and that because Jesus came He created a path to God so that we may have a relationship with Him.
Because it was promised by God. He promised it to the Israelites (Genesis 26:1-5).Answer:Because God saw the Israelites were suffering in Egypt (Exodus ch.1). That is why He gave them the Promised Land (Exodus ch.3) and called them His people.
