Oh, dude, the fall of the Northern Kingdom of Israel happened around 722 BC, and the fall of the Southern Kingdom of Judah was around 586 BC, so that's like, umm, about 136 years apart. But like, who's counting, right?
The question as posed is impossible to answer. Reasons: Israel was the Northern Kingdom and Judah was the Southern Kingdom. As a result it is hard to tell which one you are referring to when you say "The Southern Kingdom of Israel". Secondly the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah reigned for a few hundred years and therefore had many kings. Without specifying an exact event or year or period, it would be impossible to know which king you want to know about.
The Babylonians conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the First Temple. They exiled many Israelites to Babylon, known as the Babylonian Captivity or Babylonian exile, which lasted for about 70 years until the Persian Empire overthrew Babylon and allowed the Israelites to return to their homeland.
the middle kingdom started in around 2100 b.c.e and lasted up to 1700 b.c.e
Aram, the ancient Kingdom based in Syria had a tumultuous relationship with Judah. During the United-Kingdom of Israel period, Aram was a subordinate vassal of Davidic and Solomonic Israel. With the fall of the United Kingdom and the independence of Israel and Judah, Aram became an ascendant power. Most conflict occurred between Aram and the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Aram and Judah had decent relations, but Judah could not help but sympathize with their kinsmen's plight in the north. Eventually, Aram, Israel, and Judah were all conquered by Assyria (based out of modern day Iraq). Judean culture and religion survived, but the other two cultures, among many others, were lost to history.
The Southern Kingdom of Judah fell to Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar in 587 B.C.E. In July 587 B.C.E., the Babylonians broke through the walls of Jerusalem and one month later they burned down the Temple.
Jeroboam was the first king of the rebellious northern tribes, not the kingdom. Israel, as opposed to Judah, was the kingdom, and there were nine tribes that comprised the Kingdom of Israel. (Zebulun, Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, Dan, Manasseh, Ephraim, Reuben and Gad.)
the IsraelitesAdditional information:After the reign of King Solomon, the Kingdom of Israel was split into two kingdoms, Israel and Judah in about 930 BCE. The Northern Kingdom, Israel, was destroyed and its people taken into exile in 721 BCE; they never returned and are known as The Lost Tribes of Israel. Somewhat later, in 597 BCE, many people from Judah, the Southern Kingdom, were exiled to Babylon, and returned to Judea about 70 years later. It was from these people of "Judea" that the "Jews" descended.
David was 30 years old when he began to reign and it was only after he had reigned in Judah for seven and a half years that he then reigned for a furthur 33 years "over all Israel and Judah" :- 2Sa 5:4-5 KJV David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. [v. 5] In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.
300 years was how many years passed from the biiginning of the Old Kingdom to the start of its decline?
Judah and Israel. After Solomon's death, the people approached his son Rehav'am (Rehoboam) and asked that he now lower the tax. He ignored the counsel of his elder advisers and refused the people's request. This led the Ten Tribes to break away (1 Kings ch.12).
