After Saul's death, David was crowned king by the people of Judah, but Avner crowned Saul's son Ish Bosheth over the other tribes (2 Samuel 2:4-9).
David's kingdom gradually spread over all twelve Israelite tribes, because:
- The people of Judah prevailed in battle (2 Samuel 3:1).
- Avner eventually rescinded his support for Ish Bosheth, after Ish Bosheth angered him (Avner), in 2 Samuel ch.3. See also 2 Samuel 4:1.
- Other former supporters of Ish Bosheth killed Ish Bosheth (2 Samuel ch.4), leaving David as the only king de facto, which everyone willingly accepted (see 2 Samuel 5:1-3).

When did Israel unite under Saul?
AnswerAccording to the Bible, Saul became king of Israel around 1020 BCE.However, while there is circumstantial evidence that a King David did exist, or at least that the Judahites believed that a legendary king of that name had once existed, there is no extra-biblical evidence for the existence of Saul. Ariel Lewin ('The Archaeology of Ancient Judea and Palestine') says archaeologists have come to believe that no imperial Israel ever existed. On this basis, Israel and Judah never did unite under Saul, or any other king.
