Benjamin and Judah
In the Bible, First Kings 12 records how the kingdom of Israel was split in two. King David's grandson, Rehoboam, was a king who made his people's lives difficult. He increased their taxes and forced them to work longer hours, even beating them for not working hard enough. Ten of the Israelite tribes revolted and formed a new kingdom called Israel; while the two southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin remained loyal to the family of King David. The two nations were eventually reunited, after both Judah and Israel had been defeated by their enemies (Babylon & Assyria) and carried away into slavery.
During the period of the later Kingdom of Judah and the Exile, the Tribe of Benjamin merged into the much larger Tribe of Judah, but this was more of a cultural absorption than any proclamation or intent.
The people wanted their taxes lowered, so he went for counsel from older, wiser men. He didn't like their advice, so he took the advice of his friends, which was to keep taxes high/raise them. And that's how he lost most of his kingdom.1 Kings 12:1-24
Solomon's death resulted in the "divided kingdom". The Israelites weren't entirely happy with Solomon's extravagances, and upon his death they petitioned his son Rehoboam to institute reforms. When Rehoboam refused, the ten northern tribes (that is, all except the tribes of Judah and Benjamin) revolted and chose Jeroboam as their new king.
The two religions that still remained strong are Confuciaism and Taoism.
Yes, the two tribes of the southern Kingdom (also known as the Kingdom of Judah) were Judah and Benjamin.
the kingdom of israel and southern kingdom of judah
That was the kingdom of Yehudah, consisting of the two tribes, Yehudah and Binyamin.
The southern kingdom of Israel, known as Judah, consisted of two tribes: Judah and Benjamin. This division occurred after the united monarchy split into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah following the reign of King Solomon. The tribe of Levi was also present in Judah, serving in religious roles, but the primary tribes associated with the southern kingdom are Judah and Benjamin.
After Solomon's death, the Kingdom of Israel split into two separate kingdoms. Ten northern tribes formed the Kingdom of Israel, led by Jeroboam, while the southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin remained loyal to Solomon's son, Rehoboam, establishing the Kingdom of Judah. This division marked a significant turning point in the history of the Israelite people.
The two tribes that made up the southern kingdom were Judah and Benjamin
The tribal arrangement in Israel was based on descent from the 12 sons of Jacob. These twelve family heads produced the "twelve tribes of Israel." Two Tribes made up the Northern Kingdom of Isarel, Judah and Benjamin. The other 10 Tribes made up the Southern Kingdom of Israel. 1 Kings 11:29-38
After the split of the Kingdom of Israel, the two southern tribes that formed the Kingdom of Judah were Judah and Benjamin. This division occurred around 931 BCE, following the reign of King Solomon, leading to the establishment of two separate kingdoms: Israel in the north and Judah in the south. The Kingdom of Judah maintained its capital in Jerusalem and was known for its lineage of Davidic kings.
After the death of King Solomon, the Hebrew nation split into two kingdoms. Two tribes, including the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Jacob's youngest son Benjamin, formed the Southern Kingdom of Israel. The other 10 tribes, centered around Samaria made up the Northern Kingdom of Israel. In the year of 722 BC, the Assyrians conquered the Kingdom of Israel and sent the ten tribes into exile leaving two tribes left.
Solomon and his father David were heads of a loose federation of Hebrew tribes, known to the Egyptians as Habiru - brigands and herders who were in the Judean hills. The stories of their grand kingdoms are much exaggerated - there seem to be no remains of Solomon's many palaces. The successor chiefs split into two groups - the 10 tribes of the north (Israell) and the two tribes in the south (Judea). It was after that that Solomon's successors established real kingdoms, and they were soon taken over - by the Assyrians in the north, and the Babylonians in the south, then both by Persia.
In 722 BCE the Assyrians captured Samaria completing their conquest of the northern Kingdom of Israel and the ten northern tribes. The two southern tribes - Judah and Benjamin were later taken over by Babylon.
The southern two-tribe kingdom was called Judah and it consisted of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. Additional Comments: Though directly after the split in Israel with Judah and Benjamin remaining in what would be called the Southern Kingdom, the Levites (priests) were soon banned from the Northern Kingdom and went to the southern parts. As with any country of mixed peoples/tribes, there will always be some of every tribe remaining in the South due to marriage, business or just their living place.
