Israel was never part of Palestine. Rome invaded and sacked Jerusalem which is located in Israel. To humiliate them further the Roman Empire renamed the area Palestine.

According to the Hebrew Bible a man named David rose to be Israel's king after slaying a giant named Goliath in a battle that led to the rout of a Philistine army. King David led a series of military campaigns that made Israel a powerful kingdom centered at Jerusalem, according to the Hebrew Bible.
After King David's death, his son Solomon took over the kingdom and constructed what is now called the First Temple, a place where god was worshipped.
The temple was located in Jerusalem and contained the Ark of the Covenant which, in turn, contained tablets inscribed with the 10 Commandments. Most of what scholars know about King David comes from the Hebrew Bible although fragments of an inscription found at the archaeological site of Tel Dan in mention a "House of David.
Although the meaning of the words is debated by scholars many think that it provides evidence that a ruler named David really existed. However, a number of archaeologists have noted that evidence for King David's supposedly vast kingdom is scarce. Jerusalem, which was supposed to be King David's capital, appears to have been sparsely populated around 3, years ago, says Israel Finkelstein, a professor at Tel Aviv University.
One Cult? Finkelstein says that King David's kingdom was likely a more modest state. Over the past few years a 3,year-old site now called Khirbet Qeiyafa has been excavated by a team of archaeologists.
Located west of Jerusalem, the site's excavators have been adamant that Khirbet Qeiyafa was controlled by King David. They've even gone so far as to claim that they've found a palace that may have belonged to King David.
The excavators are currently preparing their finds for publication. After the death of King Solomon sometime around B. Accounts in the Hebrew Bible suggest that grievances over taxes and corvee labor free labor that had to be done for the state played a role in the breakup. The Hebrew Bible says that at the time of the breakup an Egyptian pharaoh named Shishak launched a military campaign, carrying out a successful raid against Jerusalem and taking war booty back home.
Egyptian records say that around this time a pharaoh named Sheshonq I ruled Egypt and launched a military campaign into the Levant, conquering a number of settlements.
However, it's unclear from the surviving evidence whether Sheshonq I successfully attacked Jerusalem. Many scholars believe that Shishak and Sheshonq are the same pharaohs, although the account of the military expedition told in the Hebrew Bible may not be fully accurate.
Israel and Judah co-existed for about two centuries, often fighting against each other. The last war they engaged in destroyed Israel but left Judah intact. Before its destruction, Israel also fought against a non-Jewish kingdom called Moab. A ninth century B. Between the ninth and seventh centuries B.
As the Assyrian Empire grew, it came into contact with both Israel and Judah. As Israel's losses mounted, Pekah was assassinated and a new king named Hoshea took control of what was left of Israel.
Accounts recorded in the Hebrew Bible suggest that the Assyrian campaign against Israel was part of a larger war in which Israel and Judah fought against each other — the Assyrians siding with Judah and a kingdom named Aram siding with Israel. Hoshea was forced to pay tribute to the Assyrians, the Hebrew Bible says. He rebelled but was crushed by Assyrian forces around B. These kingdoms remained separate states for over two hundred years.
The history of the both kingdoms is a litany of ineffective, disobedient, and corrupt kings. When the Hebrews had first asked for a king, in the book of Judges , they were told that only God was their king.
When they approached Samuel the Prophet, he told them the desire for a king was an act of disobedience and that they would pay dearly if they established a monarchy.
The history told in the Hebrew book, Kings , bears out Samuel's warning. The Hebrew empire eventually collapses, Moab successfully revolts against Judah , and Ammon successfully secedes from Israel. Within a century of Solomon 's death, the kingdoms of Israel and Judah were left as tiny little states - no bigger than Connecticut - on the larger map of the Middle East.
As history proved time and again in the region, tiny states never survived long. Located directly between the Mesopotamian kingdoms in the northeast and powerful Egypt in the southwest, the Hebrew Kingdoms were of the utmost commercial and military importance to all these warring powers.
Being small was a liability. In BC, the Assyrians conquered Israel. The Assyrians were aggressive and effective; the history of their dominance over the Middle East is a history of constant warfare. In order to assure that conquered territories would remain pacified, the Assyrians would force many of the native inhabitants to relocate to other parts of their empire.
They almost always chose the upper and more powerful classes, for they had no reason to fear the general mass of a population. They would then send Assyrians to relocate in the conquered territory. When they conquered Israel, they forced the ten tribes to scatter throughout their empire. The Assyrians did not settle the Israelites in one place, but scattered them in small populations all over the Middle East.
When the Babylonians later conquered Judah, they, too, relocate a massive amount of the population. However, they move that population to a single location so that the Jews can set up a separate community and still retain their religion and identity.
The Israelites deported by the Assyrians, however, do not live in separate communities and soon drop their Yahweh religion and their Hebrew names and identities. One other consequence of the Assyrian invasion of Israel involved the settling of Israel by Assyrians. This group settled in the capital of Israel, Samaria, and they took with them Assyrian gods and cultic practices.
But the people of the Middle East were above everything else highly superstitious. Conquering peoples constantly feared that the local gods would wreak vengeance on them. Therefore, they would adopt the local god or gods into their religion and cultic practices. Within a short time, the Assyrians in Samaria were worshipping Yahweh as well as their own gods; within a couple centuries, they would be worshipping Yahweh exclusively. Thus was formed the only major schism in the Yahweh religion: the schism between the Jews and the Samaritans.
The Samaritans, who were Assyrian and therefore non-Hebrew, adopted almost all of the Hebrew Torah and cultic practices; unlike the Jews, however, they believed that they could sacrifice to God outside of the temple in Jerusalem. The Jews frowned on the Samaritans, denying that a non-Hebrew had any right to be included among the chosen people and angered that the Samaritans would dare to sacrifice to Yahweh outside of Jerusalem.
The Samaritan schism played a major role in the rhetoric of Jesus of Nazareth ; and there are still Samaritans alive today around the city of Samaria. They barely escaped the Assyrian menace, but Judah would be conquered by the Chaldeans about a century later. In , the Assyrian Sennacherib would gain territory from Judah, and the Jews would have suffered the same fate as the Israelites.
But by BC, the Babylonians, under Nabopolassar, would reassert control over Mesopotamia, and the Jewish king Josiah aggressively sought to extend his territory in the power vacuum that resulted. But Judah soon fell victim to the power struggles between Assyrians, Babylonians, and Egyptians.
When Josiah's son, Jehoahaz, became king, the king of Egypt, Necho put into power by the Assyrians , rushed into Judah and deposed him, and Judah became a tribute state of Egypt. The new king of Judah, Jehoiachin, handed the city of Jerusalem over to Nebuchadnezzar, who then appointed a new king over Judah, Zedekiah.
In line with Mesopotamian practice, Nebuchadnezzar deported around 10, Jews to his capital in Babylon; all the deportees were drawn from professionals, the wealthy, and craftsmen. Ordinary people were allowed to stay in Judah.
This deportation was the beginning of the Exile. The story should have ended there. However, Zedekiah defected from the Babylonians one more time.
