After the death of Saul, Israel picked David to rule them. (1 Chronicles 11:1) After the death of King Solomon, son of David, ten of the twelve of the tribes of Israel did not want Solomon's son, Rehoboam to lead them. This caused the kingdom to split the Northern Kingdom (the Kingdom of Israel) and Southern Kingdom (Kingdom of Judah). Jerusalem and Hebron were capital-cities of the Kingdom of Judah.
In 586 BC, the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar II, took over Jerusalem and destroyed Judah.
