The Kingdom of Israel is, according to the Bible, one of the successor states to the older United Monarchy (also often called the 'Kingdom of Israel').

It is thought to exist roughly from the 930s BCE until about the 720s BCE, when the kingdom is conquered by the Assyrian Empire.

The major cities of the kingdom sre Shechem, Tirzah, and Shomron (Samaria).Historians often refer to ancient Israel as the Northern Kingdom to differentiate it from the Southern Kingdom of Judah.
