"Following King Solomon's reign, tribal tensions led to the division of the community into a large kingdom of Israel in the north and a smaller kingdom of Judah in the land known as Judea to the south. During the ninth century BCE, the kingdom of Israel came under pressure of the expanding Assyrian empire and have had to pay tribute to Assyrian ruler. In 722 BCE, Assyrian forces conquered the northern kingdom and deported many of its inhabitants to other regions."
3.) Jesus preached that love, justice and service all are a part of a good Christian life. These characteristics can lead to a life after death in heaven. This also is a part of the golden rule: "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
