Division of the Kingdom
After the death of Solomon the united Hebrew (Israel) kingdom was divided into two separate nations:

Israel: Composed of ten of Israel's tribes and often referred to as the Northern Ten Tribes of Israel. The capital city is Samaria. The kings of Israel are descendents of Jeroboam, the first king of the northern ten tribes.

Judah: Composed of two of the tribes of Israel, Judah and Benjamin, plus the priestly tribe of Levi. Jerusalem is the capital (see map of ancient Jerusalem). The kings of Judah are descendents of King David and Solomon.
