What is Kingdom of Israel?
[[File:Kingdoms around Israel 830 map.svg|thumb|324x324px|Kingdom of Israel and all it's neighbors]] In the [[Books of Kings]], after [[King Solomon]] [[die]]d, his [[kingdom]] known as [[Israel]] split into two kingdoms one in the [[North]] and one in the [[South]]. The one in the South was called [[Judah]] and the one in the [[North]] was called the Kingdom of Israel. It was later [[conquer]]ed and destroyed by the [[Assyria]]n [[emperor]] [[Shalmaneser]] who [[exile]]d its [[people]] who were known ever since then as the [[Lost Tribes of Israel]]. Israel's capital was Samaria. It was richer than Judah but it fell earlier than it. The story of the Northern Kingdom comes from Jeroboam's Revolt. Jeroboam led the 10 tribes to revolt against Rehoboam in a civil war. ==References== {{Reflist}} {{multistub|history|religion}} [[Category:Jewish history]] [[Category:History of Israel]] [[Category:Former monarchies of Asia]] [[Category:Former countries in the Middle East]]
