The Bible (II Samuel) recounts that first the Ark of Covenant it was in the Tabernacle at Shilo after which it was captured by the Philistines and subsequently returned where it stayed a while in Bet Shemesh and then in the houses of various individuals. Eventually King David brought it to Jerusalem.
Jerusalem had a monarchy where Israel was ruled by kings. It is located on a plateau in the Judean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea, it is one of the oldest cities in the world.
Kingdom of Israel - united monarchy - was created in 1030.
Yes, because a covenant means an agreement with God and the Torah describes an covenant.
Egypt in 1979. Jordan in 1994. There has been no other peace agreement between Israel and any Arab State, only armistices.
The prophet Samuel served as a bridge between the Judges and the Kings of Israel. He anointed both Saul and David as the first two kings of Israel, transitioning the nation from a period of judges to a monarchy.
I think the covenant was between Israel and God. When the children of Israel arrived at Sinai that was the beginning of the nation of Israel. God had set them apart from other nations and He asked for their obedience...... "if you will obey.......the you will be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine". (Exodus 19:5-8). "And all the people answered All that the LORD has spoken we will do."
In the Old Testament, the covenant between Yahweh and His people Israel (the Hebrews) progressed through multiple stages, and at least two signs were attached to it. When God called Abraham and established a covenant with Abraham and his descendants, He appointed circumcision as the sign of the covenant: "You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be the sign of the covenant between me and you" (Genesis 17:11 ESV). Circumcision is the most prominent "sign" of the covenant between God and the Hebrews. However, at Mount Sinai, God also established the Sabbath as a sign or token of His covenant with Israel; see Exodus 31:12-18 and Ezekiel 20:11-20. (Earlier on, the rainbow had functioned as the sign of God's covenant with Noah and his family; see Gen. 9:17.)
Moses sealed the covenant by sacrificing animals and sprinkling their blood on the altar and the people. This ritual symbolized the binding agreement between God and the Israelites.

No I don't think so. God's covenant was with the nation of Israel. Amos' message to the kingdoms of Israel and Judah was they were not keeping their part of God's covenant with them.
The holy ark was the Ark of the Covenant in which the two Stone Tablets with the Ten Commandments were held. It was a heavy wooden box covered with gold, with a gold lid. Exodus ch.25.See also:Where is the ark of the Covenant?
