Kingdom of Israel: 19th – 1st Century BC
The Hebrew people emigrated from northern Mesopotamia to Canaan, around Palestine, in
the 19th Century BC. From there they moved to the Egyptian delta, where they were eventual-
ly enslaved by Pharaoh (probably Ramses II). In the 13th Century BC, by modern estimates,
the prophet Moses led his people out of Egypt in an event known as the Exodus. Traditional
accounts describe a covenant with God in which the Hebrews received divine protection and
guidance in return for adherence to God’s laws. Additionally, God had promised the land of
Canaan to the Hebrews, who became known as the Israelites.

By the turn of the 10th Century BC, the 12 Israelite tribes living in Canaan had established a
single Kingdom of Israel under King Saul. The two succeeding Kings, David and Solomon,
incorporated new lands and the Kingdom attained the height of its power. A split occurred
the following century, leading 10 of the 12 tribes to establish a second, independent Kingdom
of Israel to the north. In the south, the Kingdom of Judah was founded, retaining Jerusalem
as its capital. The northern kingdom fell to the Assyrians in the 8th Century BC. The south-
ern kingdom flourished until it was overrun by the Babylonians under Nebuchadrezzar II in
the early 6th Century BC.

Over the next several centuries, Jerusalem and the surrounding lands were controlled first by
the Persian empire and then by the Greeks after the conquests of Alexander the Great.
Independence, lasting for about 100 years, was again attained in the 2nd Century BC under
the militarily-strong Maccabees. After that the region became part of the Roman Empire.
