What happened to the Israelite people after the death of King Solomon and the creation of two separate Kingdoms in the north and the south?

After the death of King Solomon, the Israelite kingdom split into two separate entities: the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. This division led to political instability, with each kingdom often engaging in conflict and forming alliances with neighboring nations. Over time, the northern kingdom fell to the Assyrian Empire in 722 BCE, while Judah persisted until it was conquered by the Babylonians in 586 BCE, leading to the Babylonian Exile. This period significantly impacted the cultural and religious identity of the Israelite people.
