History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 The area of time covered in this page is from the first mention of the name Israel in the archaeological record (1200 BCE) to the end of a independent Judean kingdom near the time of Jesus Christ.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 The two kingdoms arose on the most eastern coast of the Mediterranean, the most western part of the Fertile Crescent, between the old empires of Egypt to the south, Assyria, Babylonia, later Persia to the north and east, Greece and later Rome across the sea to the west.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 Israel and Judah were from the Canaanite culture of the late Bronze Age, and were based on villages that formed and grew in the southern Levant highlands (today for the region between the coastal plain and the Jordan Valley) between c. 1200-1000 BCE.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 Israel became an important local power in the 9th and 8th centuries BCE before falling to the Assyrians.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 The southern kingdom, Judah, became rich inside the greater empires of the region before a revolt against Babylon led to it being destroyed early in the 6th century.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 Judean exiles returned from Babylon early in the following Persian period, starting a Judahite presence in the province of Yehud, as Judah was now called.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 Yehud was absorbed into the subsequent Greek-ruled kingdoms which followed the conquests of Alexander the Great.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 In the 2nd century BC, the Jews went up against Greek rule and created the Hasmonean kingdom, which became first a Roman dependency and soon went under the rule of the Roman Empire.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 The eastern Mediterranean seaboard - the Levant - goes 400 miles north to south from the Taurus Mountains to the Sinai desert, and 70 to 100 miles east to west between the sea and the Arabian desert.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 The coastal area of the southern Levant, large in the south and becoming short to the north, the southernmost part has a zone of foothills, the Shephalah; like the plain this area narrows as it goes northwards, ending at Mount Carmel.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 East of the plain and the Shephalah is a mountainous ridge, the "hill country of Judah" in the south, the "hill country of Ephraim" north of that, then Galilee and the Lebanon mountains.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 To the east again lie the steep-sided valley occupied by the Jordan River, the Dead Sea, and the wadi of the Arabah, which continues down to the eastern arm of the Red Sea.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 The Levant thus constitutes a narrow corridor whose geographical setting made it a constant area of contention between more powerful entities".
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 The central and northern part of the Levantine coast was known in Classical times as Phoenicia; the southernmost portion was known to the Egyptians as Canaan, by which they seem to have meant all their Asian possessions.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 In the bible Canaan can mean all of the land west of the Jordan river, or, more narrowly, the coastal strip.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 By Classical times the name Canaan had been dropped in favour of "Philistia", "Land of the Philistines", despite the fact that the Philistines had long since disappeared.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 Northeast of Canaan/Palestine was Aram, later called Syria after the Assyrians, who had likewise long since vanished.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 Settlement during the Late Bronze Age was concentrated in the coastal plain and along major communication routes, with the central hill-country only sparsely inhabited; each city had its own ruler, constantly at odds with his neighbours and appealing to the Egyptians to adjudicate his differences.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 One of these Canaanite states was Jerusalem: letters from the Egyptian archives indicate that it followed the usual Late Bronze pattern of a small city with surrounding farmlands and villages; unlike most other Late Bronze city-states, there is  no indication that it was destroyed at the end of the period.
History of ancient Israel and Judah

 The Israelites are just as clearly indigenous to Canaan:  to take linguistics as just one indicator, Judahite and Israelite Hebrew of the early 1st millennium BCE group with Phoenician, Ammonite, Moabite and Edomite; and within that grouping a "core Canaanite" of Israelite and Phoenician can be distinguished from a "fringe Canaanite" of Judahite, Ammonite, Moabite and Edomite.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 The causes of the Bronze Age collapse - which extended throughout the eastern Mediterranean - are obscure.
History of ancient Israel and Judah

 As chaos spread, people went to live in the previously unsettled highlands: surveys have identified more than 300 small settlements, most of them new and the largest with a population of no more than 300, in the Palestinian highlands during Iron Age I. The villages were bigger and more numerous  in the northern regions (biblical Manasseh and Ephraim), although no settlements can be described as urban.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 The total settled population at the beginning of the period was about 20,000, and double this number by the end.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 Nevertheless, while Iron Age I villages with features such as four-roomed houses, collar-rim store jars, and hewn water-cisterns are counted as Israelite when found in the highlands, it is in fact impossible to differentiate these from Canaanite sites of the same period; nor is it possible to distinguish between Hebrew and Canaanite inscriptions down to the 10th century.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 In Iron Age I the highlands lack any sign of centralised authority, or of temples, shrines, or centralised worship in general (although cult-objects associated with the Canaanite god El have been found); almost the sole marker distinguishing the highland "Israelite" villages from Cannanite sites is an absence of pig bones, although whether this can be taken as an ethnic marker or is due to other factors remains a matter of dispute.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 The same period saw the rise of the kingdoms of  the kingdoms of Aram Damascus and Ammon to the east of the northern hill country, Moab (east of the Dead Sea), and Edom (in the Arabah south of the Dead Sea), in that order.

History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 In the second half of the 8th century king Hoshea of Israel revolted against the Assyrians, and was crushed (c.722 BCE).
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 Part of the population was deported, outside settlers were brought in to replace them, and Israel became an Assyrian province.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 The first evidence for the existence of an organised kingdom in the southern region comes from the mid 9th century Tel Dan stele, which  mentions the death of a king of the "House of David" alongside the king of Israel; the contemporary Mesha stele may also mention the House of David, although the reconstruction which allows this reading is disputed.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 It is generally assumed that this "House of David" is identical with the biblical dynasty, but the archaeological evidence from surface surveys indicates that during the 10th and 9th centuries Jerusalem was only one of the four large villages in the area, with no sign of primacy over its neighbours.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 It was only in the last part of the 8th century that Jerusalem experienced a period of rapid growth, achieving a population far greater than at any time before and clear primacy over the surrounding towns.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 The older scholarly reconstruction  of events is that this was due to an influx of refugees from Israel following its conquest by the Assyrians (c.722 BC), but the newer view is that it reflects a cooperative effort between Assyria and the kings of Jerusalem to establish Judah as a pro-Assyrian vassal state exercising control over the valuable olive industry.
History of ancient Israel and Judah 
 The sudden collapse of the Assyrian power in the last half of the 7th century led to an unsuccessful bid for independence under king Josiah, followed by the destruction of Jerusalem by Assyria's successor, the neo-Babylonian empire (587/586 BCE).
