northern kingdom
Realm up north
The northern kingdom refers to the Kingdom of Israel after the united monarchy split around 930 BCE, comprising ten of the twelve tribes.
It stood distinct from the southern Kingdom of Judah until its conquest by Assyria in 722 BCE.
The term appears primarily in biblical scholarship and religious contexts: The northern kingdom fell to foreign invasion before the south.
