Nowadays, Israel is not divided into two kingdoms, but thousands of years ago, Israel was split into two kingdoms called "Yehuda" and "Israel". Both kingdoms were Jewish and both had their own ledership, but only one kingdom, "Yehuda", was oficially ruling the land of Israel and Jerusalem

When was Israel born?

Israel was not invented. It is an alternate name for Jacob of the Old Testament. His descendants were called "the children of Israel." Israel was also the name of one of two ancient Jewish kingdoms, the other being Judah. The ancient Kingdom of Israel existed as an independent entity form about 1050 BC until about 930 BC. Because the ancient Kingdom of Judah lasted until the Babylonian conquest, and was afterward a province of Babylon, Macedon and then Rome under the names of Yehud or Judea, modern efforts to found a Jewish state preferred the name Israel. The modern State of Israel was founded in 1948.

Was Ahaziah king of both Israel and Judah?

A:The Bible says that Ahaziah was king of Israel for about two years (approx 852-851 BCE). Another Ahaziah is recorded as king of Judah for one year (approx 843-842 BCE). Ahab's successors in Israel were his sons Ahaziah (parts of two years) and Jehoram (roughly seven according to 2 Chronicles, though the Deuteronomist gives him twelve years). In Judah, Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat reigned for at least seven years and Jehoram's son Ahaziah for less than a year. This means that Ahaziah and Jehoram ruled Israel for about eight years, and also that Jehoram and Ahaziah ruled Judah during approximately the same eight years.The duplication of the names, even if in reverse order, is startling and has led to speculation that Judah was really under Israelite rule for this period, which the southern scribes were unwilling to acknowledge. We will probably never know for certain, but it is possible that Ahaziah, son of Ahab, really was king of both Israel and a defeated Judah (followed by his brother Jehoram).
