The correct option is B
The Kingdom of Israel has its references in the Bible and it has known two periods: the first of them includes a "united kingdom" known as the Kingdom of Israel and involves Saul, David and Solomon (1030-930 BC); the second implies a kingdom resulting from the division of the previous kingdom and that only encompassed the northern part of that initial kingdom (930-720 BC). Since both are known by the name of the Kingdom of Israel and for the purpose of differentiating them, one of the two kingdoms resulting from the division (of that primal kingdom that belonged to Solomon) is called the northern kingdom (as opposed to the kingdom). from the south, which is also known as the Kingdom of Judah). After 210 years of existence, the Northern Kingdom was conquered and destroyed by the Assyrian Empire. The main cities of the Northern Kingdom were: Shechem, Tirzah and Samaria.
