Into what two kingdoms was Israel divided after the death of Solomon?
AnswerThe Bible says that after the death of Solomon, the northern tribes rebelled from the kingdom of Israel and created their own kingdom called Israel, while the former kingdom settled for the name Judah.However, some scholars believe that there was no King Solomon and that there never was a United Monarchy of Israel. They say that Israel and Judah were always separate, with their own pottery styles, culture and distinct dialects of the Hebrew language.
