Another answer from our community:

First, there were twelve tribes of Israel.

Second, if one knows where to look, remnants of the twelve tribes can be found wherever they existed. Civilizations always leave a mark and one can find the mark of the tribes of Israel anywhere from Egypt, to Syria, to Germany. However, since the twelve tribes have now become one Jewish people, it is safe to say that the best place to look is where they now reside, in Israel.

Were any of the Ten Lost tribes Cherokee?

If the question refers to the reputed "ten lost tribes" of Israel, they would have been Semitic, not American Indian. Ethnically, there is no relationship between the Israelites and the Cherokee. Moreover, the American Indians had allready been in the Americas for thousands of years before the destruction of Israel in 722 BCE. Biblical legend has it that there were twelve tribes of the Hebrew people, ten of whom lived in the northern Hebrew kingdom of Israel and two tribes in southern Judah. When the Assyrians finally conquered Israel, they deported many of the inhabitants, replacing them in what was now the Assyrian province of Samaria, with conquered peoples from elsewhere in the empire. The former Israelites gradually assimilated into their host communities, adopting their religions and cultures, until they entirely lost their ethnic identity. Thus, the legend of the ten lost tribes.

What is the birth of Israel?

The birth of Israel as a nation can be traced back to Jacob's struggle with the angel of God. After Jacob fought the angel, God named him Israel, and this became the name that refers to Jacobs offspring who evolved into the nation of 12 tribes. The birth of modern Israel happened at the end of British occupied Palestine (what is now called Israel) after ww2 when the Jews of the diaspora returned to their native homeland and transformed it into a modern nation state.


Why did Benjamin and judah split off from other tribes?

Actually, it was the House of Israel (ten tribes of Israel led by Ephraim and Manasseh) that split with the House, or kingdom, of Judah (the Jews). It's recorded in I Kings 12. Under Solomon, as inherited from his father David, all the tribes of Israel hung together and were taxed heavily for the sake of the building of the Temple. Following Solomon's death, his son was heir to the throne and was asked by the tribes of Israel to ease off with his father's taxation and other Temple-related hardships, since the Temple was now built. Solomon's son, Rehoboam, refused and promised greater oppression than that of his father. "...My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions." (I Kings 12:14) So, the ten tribes of Israel split with the Jewish king: "...to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents." (I Kings 12:16) It was God who left Benjamin with Judah... as well as remnants of some of the other tribes. What good is a kingdom if there is no one to rule over? "...thus saith the Lord (to the Jews), Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from Me..." (I Kings 12:24). The new king over the House of Israel decided to banish the priestly Levites who lived among all the tribes for the sake of administering God's laws and judgments and sabbath observances, because he feared they would eventually convince the people to return to Judah and Jerusalem, which would dissolve his new kingdom. He sent these authorized and sanctioned priests of God packing to Jerusalem and "...made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi." (I Kings 12:31) He then, replaced the annual sabbath days of God with pagan counterfeits that mocked and blasphemed God. So, the Levites as well as many Simeonites stayed with the Jews also besides Benjamin. All in all, the tribes basically parted company in a "declaration of independence" due to "taxation without representation."
