A Unified Monarchy existed in the land of Israel, according to Jewish tradition, from around BCE to 930 BCE, following the period of the Judges, before the division of the Kingdoms of Judah and Israel.
Overview
In contemporary scholarship, the united monarchy is debated, due to a lack of archaeological evidence for it. It is generally accepted that a "House of David" existed, but David could have only been the king or chieftain of Judah, which was likely small. The northern kingdom was a separate development.
