Kingdom
in the northern half of Palestine (922-722
B.C.).
|
The
northernmost part of Palestine consists of mountains,
hills, and valleys. It is crossed by the large
Jezreel Plain that runs east to west from the
Mediterranean to
the Jordan River.
South of this plain is central Palestine, which
consists of rolling hills and valleys.
This
region became an independent country when the
kingdom divided in 922 B.C. It remained
independent until it was conquered by the Assyrians
in 722 B.C.
