Ancient Israel and Judah: The Kingdoms That Shaped History | Full History Documentary ---------------------------------------------------- Long before the rise of Rome, the lands of the ancient Near East were dominated by powerful civilizations such as Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, and Persia. Between them stood the kingdoms of Israel and Judah — small states whose history would leave an extraordinary legacy. This documentary explores the rise of the ancient Israelite kingdoms, the traditions surrounding Saul, David, and Solomon, the division between the northern Kingdom of Israel and the southern Kingdom of Judah, and their struggles against powerful neighboring states. We follow the story through the rise of Samaria and Jerusalem, the Assyrian conquest of Israel, the famous campaign of Sennacherib, the survival of Jerusalem, the rise of Babylon, the destruction of Jerusalem and the First Temple, the Babylonian Exile, and the Persian restoration. Along the way, we examine what archaeology, ancient inscriptions, and historical sources reveal about this fascinating period — while distinguishing historical evidence from later traditions where the evidence remains uncertain. From Jerusalem and Samaria to Lachish and Babylon, discover how two small kingdoms became part of one of the most influential stories of the ancient world.
