This article is about the kingdom of allthe Israelites ruled by
Saul, David, and
Solomon. For the later kingdom of

According to Biblical tradition, the united
Kingdom of Israel was a kingdom that
existed in the Land of Israel, a period
referred to by scholars as the United
Monarchy. Biblical historians date thekingdom from c. 1020 BCE
to c. 930 BCE,
though there are differences of opinion asto exact dates.
According to the Bible, before the united
monarchy, the Israelite tribes lived as a
confederation under ad hoc charismaticleaders called Judges. In
around 1020 BCE,
under extreme threat from foreign peoples,

the tribes united to form the first united
Kingdom of Israel. SamuelanointedSaul
from the tribe ofBenjamin as the first king
in c. 1020 BCE, but it was Davidwho inc.1006 BCE created a
strong unified
Israelite monarchy.
David, the second (or third, ifIsh-boshethis counted) King of
Israel, established
Jerusalemas its national capital 3,000 years
ago. Before then, Hebron had been the
capital of David's Judah and Mahanaim ofIsh-bosheth's Israel,
and before that Gibeah
had been the capital of the United
Monarchy underSaul.
David succeeded in truly unifying the
Israelite tribes, and set up a monarchical
government. He embarked on successfulmilitary campaigns against
Israel'senemies, and defeated nearby regional
entities such as thePhilistines, thus
creating secure borders for Israel. UnderDavid, Israel grew into
a regional power.
Under the House of David, the united
Kingdom of Israel achieved prosperity andsuperiority over its
neighbours.
Under David's successor, Solomon, the
United Monarchy experienced a period ofpeace and prosperity, and
culturaldevelopment. Much public building took
place, including theFirst Temple in
Jerusalem.
However, on the succession of Solomon'sson, Rehoboam, in c.930
BCE the country
split into two kingdoms: Israel (including
the cities ofShechem and Samaria) in the
north and Judah (containing Jerusalem) in
the south. Most of the non-Israeliteprovinces fell away.

capital.

ofGershon Galil,

[edit] Origins of the United
Monarchy
According to the biblical account, theUnited Monarchy was formed
when there
was a large popular expression in favour of
introducing a monarchy to rule over the
previously decentralised Israelite tribalconfederacy. Increasing
pressure from the
Philistinesand other neighboring tribes is
said by the Bible to have forced the
Israelites to unite as a more singular state.
The bible treats the notion of kingship as
having been an anathema at the time, itbeing seen as one man put
in a position of
reverence and power, which in their faith
was reserved forGod.

8/3/2019 Kingdom of Israel
4/12
Map of the southern Levant, c.830s BCE.
According to the first book of Samuel, due
to his disobedience to God, Saul's reignwas curtailed and his
kingdom given to
another dynasty. The Masoretic Text reads
that Saul ruled for only two years, althoughsome early
manuscripts read forty-two
years (cf. the New Testament, which gives
him a reign of forty years). The bible
portrays Saul as having died in battleagainst the
Philistines.
David and Saul had earlier become bitter
enemies, at least from Saul's point of view,though the sources
describe Jonathan,
Saul's son, and Michal, Saul's daughter, as
assisting David to escape Saul, ultimately
leading to brief reconciliation before Saul'sdeath.
Saul's heir, Ishbaal, took over rulership of
Israel but, according to Samuel, ruled for
only two years before he was assassinated.David, who had become
king of Judah
only, acted as counter-rebel, ended the
conspiracy, and was appointed king ofIsrael in Ishbaal's place;
a number of
textual critics and biblical scholars have
suggested that David was actuallyresponsible for the
assassination, and his
position as counter-rebel was a later
invention to legitimise David's actions.
Israel rebels, according to Samuel, andappoints Absalom, David's
son, as their
new king. The bible then describes Israel as
rebelling, taking over Judah, and ultimately
forcing David into exile on the east of the
Jordan. According to the increasing
majority of archaeologists, this isn't somuch a case of
rebellion by Israel against a
mighty kingdom, but more a case of Israel
re-asserting its authority over a poor, rural,
sparsely populated, backwater.
This section of the biblical text, and the
bulk of the remainder of the books of
Samuel is thought by textual critics tobelong to a single large
source known as
theCourt History of David; though
reflecting the political bias of the laterkingdom of Judah after
Israel's destruction,
the source is somewhat more neutral than
the pro and anti monarchical sources that
form earlier parts of the text. Israel andJudah are portrayed in
this source as quite
distinct kingdoms.
Eventually, according to Samuel, Davidlaunches a counter-attack,
and wins,
although with the loss of Absalom, his son.
After having retaken Judah, as well asasserted control over
Israel, David returns
to the west of the Jordan, though he
continues to suffer a number of rebellions
by Israel, successfully suppressing eachone.
The "Golden Age"
In the Biblical account, David finally
succeeds in truly unifying Judah and Israel.
Some modern archaeologists believe therewas a continued and
uninterrupted
existence of two distinct cultures and
geographic entities, one being Judah, the
other Israel, and if there was a politicalunion it possibly had
no practical effect on
the relationship between the two nations.[2]
David embarked on successful militarycampaigns against Judah's
and Israel's
enemies, and defeated bitter foes such as
thePhilistines, thus creating secureborders. Under King David,
Israel grew
from Kingdom to Empire, and its sphere of

influence militarily and politically in
the Middle Eastexpanded greatly,
controlling a number of weaker client
states like Philistia,Moab,Edom, Ammon,with a number of Aramaean
city-states
(Aram-ZobahandAram-Damascus)
becomingvassal states; the imperial border
stretched from theMediterranean Sea tothe Arabian Desert, from
the Red Sea to the
Euphrates River. According to the biblicalaccount, the empire
had a large land area.
Some modern archaeologists, though
holding only a minority view, believe thatthe area under the
control of Judah and
Israel in this era, excluding the Phoenician
territories on the shore of the
Mediterranean, did not exceed 34,000square kilometres (13,000 sq
mi); of these,
the kingdom of Israel encompassed about24,000 square kilometres
(9,300 sq mi).
David was succeeded on his death by hisson, Solomon, who
obtained the kingdom
in a somewhat disreputable manner from
the rival claimant, his elder brotherAdonijah, whom he later had
killed. Living
up to his name (peace), the rule of
Solomon was one in which the nation knewunprecedented peace. Not
all scholars see
Solomon as a wise leader.[3]
David and Solomon are both portrayed by
the Bible as having entered into strongalliances with the
(possibly unnamed) King
ofTyre. In return for ceding land to Tyre,
David and Solomon are said to havereceived a number of master
craftsmen,
skilled labourers, money, jewels, cedar, and
other goods.David's Palace andSolomon's
Temple are described as having been built
with the assistance of these Tyrian assets,as well as to designs
given by architects
from Tyre.
Solomon rebuilt a number of major cities,
includingMegiddo, Hazor, andGezer;
these have been excavated and scholars
attributed elements of the archaeologicalremains, some of which
are rather
impressive such as six chambered gates
and ashlar palaces, to this building
programme. Structures within these
remains are identified as the stables for the
vast collection ofhorses that Solomon isbelieved to have kept,
together with
drinking troughs.
End of the "United Monarchy"
Main articles:Kingdom of Israel
(Samaria) andKingdom of Judah
Following Solomon's death in c. 926 BCE,
tensions between the northern part of Israel
containing the ten northern tribes, and the
southern section dominated by Jerusalemand the southern tribes
reached boiling
point. When Solomon's successor
Rehoboam dealt tactlessly with economiccomplaints of the
northern tribes, in about
930 BCE (there are difference of opinion as
to the actual year) the united Kingdom ofIsrael split into two
kingdoms: the northern
Kingdom of Israel, which included the
cities ofShechem andSamaria, and the
southern Kingdom of Judah, whichcontained Jerusalem; with most
of the non-
Israelite provinces achieving independence.
The Kingdom of Israel (or NorthernKingdom) existed as an
independent state
until 722 BCE when it was conquered by
theAssyrian Empire; while the Kingdom
of Judah (or Southern Kingdom) existed asan independent state
until 586 BCE when it
was conquered by the Babylonian Empire.

number of scholars to be a cipher forGod
himself) to have thoroughly routed the
Philistines, yet begrudgingly accepting that
the people demanded a ruler, and thusappointing Saul by
cleromancy. Thepro-monarchical source describes the divine
birth ofSaul(a single word being changed
by a later editor so that it referred toSamuel instead), and his
later leading of an
army to victory over the Ammonites, whichresulted in the people
clamouring for him
to lead them against the Philistines,
whereupon he is appointed king.[4][page needed]
In 2010, archaeologists excavating inJerusalem found two
sections of 5 and 6
meter high wall, with a gatehouse, tower,
as well as storage vessels inscribed with the
phrase "to the king", which they interpretedas indicating royal
use. The engineering
level involved was interpreted as indicating
a ruling presence. The archaeologists datedthe ruins to the 10
century BCEand King
Solomon. They also claimed that the
architecture was similar to othercontemporary ruins in Meggido,
Beersheba
and Ashdod.[5]
According to Israel Finkelsteinand Neil
Silberman, authors ofThe BibleUnearthed: Archaeology's New
Vision of
Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its SacredTexts,[2] the idea of
a United Monarchy isnot accurate history but rather "creative
expressions of a powerful religious reform
movement," possibly "based on certainhistorical kernels."
Although in a later
book Finkelstein and Silberman do accept
that David and Solomon were real kings of
Judah about the 10th century BCE,[6]they
cite that the earliest independent referenceto the Kingdom of
Israel is about 890 BCE,
while for that of Judah is about 750 BCE.
..
In the accounts of the kings, we seeKingSaul, driven by greed
and paranoia, on
murderous missions to keep himself on thethrone, losing the
throne not in spite of hisprecautions, but because of
them.Alongside him we see the futureKingDavid hunted and in
constant danger,yet so loyal he refused golden opportunitiesto rid
himself of Saul and make himself
king called a man after God's ownheart, guided by God to success
in everyventure.We see King Jeroboam, propositioned byGod with a
wonderful promise, reject thatpromise in favor of bad advice, and
as aresult not only lose his own kingship, but inthe end, doom the
entire kingdom as well.We see King Jehoshaphat, who also hadan
excellent promise from God, believe thatpromise completely, and
thereby defend hiskingdom against three united armies each
stronger than his own, without sending asingle soldier into
battle!We see kings pleasing to God, and kingsrevolting to God. And
we see what madethem pleasing or revolting.What does God love in a
leader? Whatdoes He hate in a leader? The storiesof the kings give
us the answers!
.The Kings of IsraelIn our schools we have blackboards on
whichwe solve problems. Israel was God'sblackboard upon which He
worked out somegreat national and international problems in
thepast. In this brief study, however, I wish only tocall attention
to the general characteristics ofthe kings who sat upon the Davidic
throne.When Saul was rejected on account ofdisobedience, God chose
David, a man afterHis own heart, who did His will with theexception
of the time when he sinned andremained for a season in an
unrepentant state.He is held up in the Scriptures as the
idealruler, for he was a foreshadowing of theMessiah, who, on
account of David's typicalcharacter, is also called David.Solomon
was indeed a wise ruler, but at thesame time he did many very
foolish things. Hisreign, though outwardly a success, was inreality
a failure (Note: On the accompanyingchart the dates given indicate
the year in whicheach king began his reign. These are given inboth
the B.C. and A.H. dates).

Rehoboam lacked wisdom and judgment. Herefused to listen to the
older men who had hadexperience but chose rather to accept
theuntried theories of the young andinexperienced. This action
brought about the
disruption of the kingdom a nationalcalamity. In the fifth year
of his reign Pharaoh,king of Egypt, came up and overran thecountry,
which invasion proved to be a nationalcalamity.
Asa was a good king, who reigned for forty-one years. He sought
to do that which wasright in the sight of God as did his father
David.He endeavored to bring the nation back toGod. He was
measurably successful;
nevertheless there were problems which hewas unable to solve.His
son, Jehoshaphat, likewise was anexcellent ruler, and sought to do
the will ofGod. He likewise brought about reforms and aspiritual
awakening.The next to mount the throne to whom I wish tocall
attention was Athaliah, the daughter ofJezebel. She was indeed a
notorious character ruthless and unprincipled like her mother.She
came to the throne of David by marriage.
It was truly a sad day when she came topower.On the death at
Amaziah, who endeavored todo good but was very weak and yielded
tooutward pressure, there was an interregnum in
the Davidic line. For eleven years the thronewas vacant. The
Bible is silent as to theconditions that obtained at that time.
When thedata is studied and the proper calculations aremade, we see
that there was this period duringwhich the house of David was
without a king.God did not see fit to reveal to us the conditionof
that time. In this connection let me say thatthere were two
interregnums in the northernkingdom. (For a full discussion of the

which leads to this conclusions see thevolume, Messiah: His
First Coming Scheduled)Uzziah was another great outstanding king
onthe throne of David. Great prosperity wasenjoyed by the southern
kingdom duringcertain portions of his reign. It was at this
timethat Isaiah came forth with his fiery oratory andgreat
statesmanship. Yet this sovereign's reignwas marred by various
defects. He was unableto stem the tide of wickedness and
corruption,the waves of which beat constantly against theshores of
Judah.Jotham, his successor, in some respects wasa good man; but he
made no specialcontribution to the kingdom or theadvancement of the
cause of the Lord.Ahaz, a stripling of an upstart, who
waswickedness personified, succeeded his father.His foreign
policies all but wrecked Judah. Helacked faith and sought to make
alliances with
the king of Assyria. Isaiah, however, opposedsuch a policy.
Nevertheless, Ahaz had his way.Hezekiah was a great and a noble
king. Hewas one of the great reformers in Israel andbrought about a
mighty national revival. It wasduring his day that the little
Passover wasobserved (see Numbers 9). Although Hezekiahwas a great
man, he had serious faults andmade many mistakes. In the fifteenth
year ofthe reign a major crisis developed. For anaccount of the
times and the conditions, seeIsaiah 36-39 and the parallel passages
in the
Book of II Kings.Manasseh enjoyed the longest reign in Judahof
any of her kings. He was on the throne forfifty-five years. He was
one of the mostreprobate and wicked kings who ever sat uponthat
throne. Why he was allowed to reign thatlong, God has not said. We
might guess, butwe cannot be dogmatic. God sometimesallows
wickedness to hold sway untilconditions are ripe for judgment.
Hints are notlacking that there was a great crisis in his day.His
son, Amon, succeeded him and reigned
two years. He was undoubtedly the mostwicked monarch who ever
sat upon the throneof Judah.Josiah, who reigned for thirty-one
years, wasindeed one of Judah's great kings. He fell heirto the
wretched conditions which had resultedfrom fifty-seven years of
apostasy from Godduring the two preceding reigns. Beinginfluenced
by the high priest, Hilkiah a verygodly and consecrated man the
young king sethis heart to seek the Lord. In the eighteenth
year of his reign, he began to purge the land ofall idolatry and
to cleanse the Temple from thedebris and rubbish that had
accumulatedduring the preceding reigns. While theworkmen were
engaged at this task, a copy ofthe Book of the Law was discovered
in theTemple. It was brought to the king and readbefore him. He
believed God; he saw thesituation and immediately instituted
nationalreforms which resulted in a mighty spiritualawakening and
turning to God.There can be no doubt concerning Jeremiah'staking a
prominent part in this reform, becausehe was very active at the
time. Huldah, aprophetess, likewise was a mighty factor in
thisrevival. Hilkiah and certain ones whom the kingcommanded went
to her for advice. She spoketo them the word of the Lord. At this
time therewas a great observance of the passover. (Fora full
discussion of the events of those stirring
times, see II Chronicles 34 and 35 and theparallel passages in
II Kings.)By the time we reach the reign of Jehoiakim,Judah had
plunged on the toboggan of sin andrebellion against God to such an
extent thatshe had gotten beyond all remedy. In the thirdyear of
the reign of Jehoiakim, which was 3520A.H., the king of Babylon
came againstJerusalem and carried the outstanding men ofthe realm
into captivity. This was the firstdeportation of exiles.Jehoiakim
was succeeded by Jehoiachin, who
reigned only three months. He, with numbersof captives, was
taken to Babylon.The final overthrow of the Jewish nationoccurred
in the eleventh year of Zedekiah,which was the year 3539 A.H. Thus
ended theDavidic line of actual rulers. Since then thethrone has
been overturned and will not be setup again until He whose right it
is shall come(Ezekiel 21:27). When He returns, He willmount the
throne of David and will establishHis authority from sea to sea and
from the riverto the ends of the earth. Glorious times are yet
in the future..
