Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Under King Solomon, the Israelites were united and centered their kingdom on the great temple in Jerusalem. This became a symbol of their religious and political power. The kingdom continued after Solomon's death, but eventually split into two separate entities: Israel in the north and Judah in the south. It was not a trader-state (A) or a hybrid society that merged with Minoan states (C), and while King Saul was an important figure, his kingdom did not last for many generations (B).
