The Kings of Israel were the rulers of the ancient kingdom of Israel, as described in the Hebrew Bible. The kingdom of Israel was established around the 11th century BCE and lasted until the 8th century BCE when it was conquered by the Assyrian Empire. The kings of Israel were believed to be chosen by God to lead the people and were often judged based on their faithfulness to God and adherence to religious laws. The most well-known kings of Israel include Saul, David, and Solomon, who are central figures in biblical narratives and are often remembered for their military conquests, building projects, and religious reforms.
