Israel : denotes both the Jewish state & the people who are descendants of Jacob. In the Old Testament, the term “Kingdom of Israel” is used to designate two political units: the united kingdom of Israel under kings Saul, David, & Solomon that lasted from c.1020 to 922 BC; & the northern kingdom of Israel including the territories of the ten northern tribes, that was established in 922 BC. The southern kingdom, ruled by David’s dynasty, was thereafter referred to as Judah.
