Jews were led by kings from 836 - 422 BCE. The destruction of the First Temple marked the end of the reign of the Jewish kings.
During the Second Temple, for the first 200 years there were no Jewish kings. Judea was under the Greeks (Seleucids) and others. Around 150 BCE, the Hasmoneans made themselves kings (Johanan Hyrcanus and others); and later, under Roman rule, Herodean kings (Antipater, Herod, Agrippas) were placed over the land by the Romans.
In 42 or 41 BCE, Herod was named tetrarch of Galilee by the Romans. Two years later Antigonus, Hyrcanus' nephew, took the throne by force. Herod pleaded with the Romans to restore him to power and was elected "King of the Jews" by the Roman Senate. Josephus puts this in 40 BCE, but Appian places it in 39 BCE. Herod went back to Judea to take power over his kingdom from Antigonus. Three years later, Herod and the Romans finally captured Jerusalem and executed Antigonus. Herod became sole ruler of Judea and took the title of basileus (king) for himself. Josephus places this in 37 BCE, but also says that it was exactly 27 years after Jerusalem fell to Pompey, which would indicate 36 BCE.
In 41 BCE, Herod was made tetrarch over the Roman territories in Palestine, but he lost Palestine to the Parthians about a year later. In 38 BCE Rome made Herod king of the Idumaeans and Samaritans. He recaptured Jerusalem in 37 BCE, thus becoming king of the Jews. In 30 BCE, he was also given control of Samaria, Jericho and the coast. So Herod the Great had become king of a huge territory that included both Jews and Gentiles, with a range of ethnic groups.After Herod's death in 4 BCE, Rome split the kingdom among his three sons, with Archelaus getting Judea, Samaria and Idumaea. King Archelaus was a particularly unpopular king and, in 6 BCE, Rome deposed him and made Judea a province under a Roman governor.
King Narmer of Upper Egypt united Lower Egypt with his kingdom in approximately 3100 BC BCE.
Strictly speaking, Herod never ruled Israel, as that kingdom ceased to exist in 722 BCE, centuries before his time. Rome made Herod tetrarch of Palestine in 41 BCE, but he lost his teritory to the Parthians in 40 BCE. In 38 BCE, he became king of Idumea and Samaria, but not Judea or Galilee. In 37 BCE, he recaptured Jerusalem, thereby including Judea in his kingdom. The Romans transferred some territories out of his control, then back again, until by 30 BCE his territorial boundaries were stabilised. King Herod died in April 4 BCE. He had been a king since 38 BCE, a reign of about 34 years. He had ruled Jerusalem and Judea since 37 BCE.
