Synopsis: The Kingdom of Israel refers to the kingdom that existed following the split of the united nation of ancient Israel after the death of king Solomon. Prior to this, the 12 tribes of Israel were united into one nation under one king, but following Solomon's death the nation split into two kingdoms - the southern Kingdom of Judah, and the northern Kingdom of Israel. It existed from roughly 930s BC until 722 BC. Its history is described in the book of 2 Kings and is marked by successive kings who worshipped foreign gods rather than God, ultimately ending in disaster when it was conquered by the Assyrian Empire and its people exiled to foreign lands, to be forever lost from history.
