Many nations have attacked Israel, but only two nations ever destroyed it (temporarily):
Babylon
Rome
assyrians
Assyria destroyed the northern kingdom, Israel. The final destruction occurred in 722 BCE, after which it became the Assyrian province of Samaria.
There are two different empires at play here. The empire that destroyed the Northern Kingdom of Israel was Assyria in 722 BCE. The empire that took the Jews into captivity (and destroyed the Southern Kingdom of Judah) was Babylonia in 586 BCE.
A:Assyria destroyed Israel in 722 BCE.
Israel was conquered by the Babylonian Empire in 587 BCE, leading to the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem and the exile of many Israelites. At that time, King Zedekiah was the ruler of the Kingdom of Judah, the southern part of the Israelite kingdom.
Originally, Ancient Israel was a tribal confederacy, but the strong opposition of Philistines required a more centralized system, which resulted in a monarchy. After a short while, the monarchy cleft into a northern and southern kingdom. The northern kingdom was destroyed by the Assyrians and the southern kingdom was conquered by the Babylonians about 150 years later.
The prophet was Amos. He was called by God to deliver a message of social justice to the people of Israel, warning them of the consequences of their unjust practices and the impending destruction of their kingdom if they did not change their ways.
That would be the kingdom of Israel. The Southern Kingdom was called Judah.
Only two: the Kingdom of Judah and the Kingdom of Israel, which later merged into Israel.
The kingdom of Israel (Ten Tribes; Northern Kingdom) was conquered and exiled by the Assyrians some 2600 years ago. See also the Related Links.Link: Reasons for the DestructionLink: Where are the Ten Tribes
The Kingdom of Israel was finally destroyed by the Assyrians in 722 BCE and many of the people who did not flee to Judah or Egypt deported, never to return. So, in the time of Jesus, there was no Kingdom of Israel and there had not been for over seven centuries. The land of the Israelites had become Samaria, the land of the Samarians, or Samaritans. Judea and Samaria were under Roman rule.
Exactly that: the Northern Kingdom of Israel.
