The image is a photograph of a plaque on a wall with Hebrew text. The plaque is titled "From a group of isolated settlements in the hill country of Judah and Samaria, the Israelites developed into a kingdom. The beginning of this period is portrayed in the Bible as the "Golden Age of David" and Solomon's death, however, the kingdom split into two. The Kingdom of Israel was larger than Judah, and its territory was rich and fertile. It traded extensively with foreign lands and was thus poorer and more prosperous. It was ruled by a single dynasty - the House of David - for four hundred years. Over the course of the period, the relationship between the two kingdoms was ultimately friendly and hostile. This was the first time that independent monarchs ruled the Land, even if, at times, they bore the yoke of foreign empires. Late Iron Age / First Temple Period / 1000-566 BCE.
