Notes on the Kingdom of Israel:
For the first 400 years in Canaan, the children of Israel had no king. David solidified the 12 tribes into one nation and when his grandson, Rehoboam, tried to raise taxes, the northern ten tribes split to form the nation of “Israel”, leaving the southern two tribes to become “Judah.” After 19 idolatrous kings, God sent the Assyrians to destroy Israel in 722 BC. Judah fell to the Babylonians in 586 BC, but 70 years later, as prophesied by Jeremiah, Cyrus conquered the Babylonians and send the Jews back to their homeland in 537 BC.
