According to the biblical account, this kingdom was founded after the death of Saul, when the tribe of Judah elevated David to rule over it . After seven years, David became king of a reunited Kingdom of Israel . However, in about 930 BCE the united kingdom split, with ten of the twelve Tribes of Israel rejecting Solomon's son Rehoboam as their king . The tribes of Judah and Benjamin remained loyal to Rehoboam, and re-formed the Kingdom of Judah, while the other entity continued to be called the Kingdom of Israel, or just Israel . </P> <P> The capital of the Kingdom of Judah was Jerusalem . All of the kings of Judah lived and died in Judah except for Ahaziah (who died at Megiddo in Israel), Jehoahaz (who died a prisoner in Egypt) and Jeconiah and Zedekiah who were deported as part of the Babylonian captivity . </P>
