King Omri chose Samaria to be the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel.
It was called the Land of Israel, later divided into the kingdoms of Israel and Judea, but then reunited as Israel.
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
Only two: the Kingdom of Judah and the Kingdom of Israel, which later merged into Israel.
The border went from the north of the Dead Sea to the Mediterranean sea. Kingdom of Judah was all the territory south of Jerusalem down to Beersheba and the Negev desert at the southern border.
When Israel was divided into two kingdoms around 930 BCE, it split into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. This division arose due to political tensions and disagreements over leadership after King Solomon's reign. The northern kingdom eventually fell to the Assyrian Empire in 722 BCE, while the southern kingdom of Judah was conquered by the Babylonian Empire in 586 BCE, leading to the Babylonian Exile. This division significantly impacted the cultural, political, and religious landscape of the region.
The Kingdom of Judah lost some or most of its easy access to the Mediterranean and to the north of Israel. The other Kingdom, Israel (Ten Tribes) retained these areas. See also:Jewish history timeline
The two new kingdoms that emerged were the Kingdom of Israel in the north, with Samaria as its capital, and the Kingdom of Judah in the south, with Jerusalem as its capital.
The northern and southern kingdoms of Israel divided around 930 BC, after the death of King Solomon. This division was a result of political and religious tensions between the tribes of Israel. The northern kingdom became known as Israel, with Samaria as its capital, while the southern kingdom became known as Judah, with Jerusalem as its capital.
AnswerThe Bible says that after the death of Solomon, the northern tribes rebelled from the kingdom of Israel and created their own kingdom called Israel, while the former kingdom settled for the name Judah.However, some scholars believe that there was no King Solomon and that there never was a United Monarchy of Israel. They say that Israel and Judah were always separate, with their own pottery styles, culture and distinct dialects of the Hebrew language.
The Kingdom of Israel occupied the land on the Mediterranean Sea corresponding roughly to the State of Israel of modern times.
