The Northern Kingdom of Israel

The Northern Kingdom of Israel is the name given to the region belonging to the ten northerly tribes of Israel. The Northern Kingdom emerged after the reign of Solomon, around 926 BC. There were often tensions between the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the Southern Kingdom of Judah. In 722 BC, the Assyrians conquered the capital city of Samaria and brought to an end the Northern Kingdom.
