Saul's Dynasty
The Israelite monarchy began in 1043 BC when the Prophet Samuel anointed Saul as King.
Saul died along with most of his son's during the battle of Gilboa in 1003 BC. At this point the Judahites made David their King while the northern Kingdom of Israel passed unto Ish-Boshesh (the surviving son of Saul.) After Ish-Boshesh was murdered and his assassins were put to death by David the Dynasty ended. David welcomed Saul's grandson and had him join him at the table--he had a strong friendship with Saul's son Jonathan.
David's Dynasty
David began his reign over the United Kingdom of Israel in 1003 BC, he was succeeded by his son Solomon in 963 BC and Solomon was succeed by his son Rehoboam in 931 but the Kingdom split between Judah in the South and Israel in the North. Israel was lead by Jeroboam, another son of Solomon.
Eighteen Kings followed Rehoboam (all of them were related through a direct line with David) until Jerusalem was conquered in 586 BC. Even after Jerusalem was destroyed and the Kingdom of Judah with it there was can active insistence that any King of Judea must be a descendant of King David.
Jehoboam's Dynasty
In a sense Jeroboam's Dynasty was a sub-sect of David's Dynasty. When King Jeroboam died in 909 BC his son Nadab succeeded him. The Dynasty ended in 908 when Baasha, a rebel, took over the Kingdom of Israel.
Baasha's Dynasty
Baasha reigned for twenty-four years and was succeeded by his son Elah, who lost the throne after two years to his general, a man by the name if Zimri.
Zimri's reign
Despite successfully ending the Baasha Dynasty, Zimri only reigned for seven days. Omri would take the throne and thus begin one of the best known Dynasties.
Omri's Dynasty
Although Omri began his reign in 885 BC, it is his son Ahab who is best known. Ahab reigned for twenty-two years and married Queen Jezebel, a Princess of Tyre. In 853 Ahab's son Azahiah succeeded him, Afterwards Joram yet another son of Ahab would reign for twelve years. Then a powerful rebel named Jehu arose: He killed Ahab's descendants, the worshipers of the 'god' Baal; even Jezebel was thrown out a window. Thus ended the 44 year old Dynasty.
Jehu's Dynasty
Beginning in 841 BC Jehu reigned for twenty-eight years. He was succeeded by Jehoahaz, who was then succeeded by Jehoash. Johoash was succeeded by Jeroboam, Jeroboam was succeeded by Zachariah, After lasting for eighty-eight years this Dynasty came to an end when a man named Shallum seized the throne.
Shallum's Reign
Shallum may have taken the throne, but he only sat on it for a month before another rebellion put Menahem in charge.
Menachem's Dynasty
Menachem became King in 752 BC and was succeeded by his son Pekahiah; Pekahiah was overthrown by Pekah.
Pekah's reign
Pekah reigned for about twenty years before Hoshea grabbed the throne.
Hoshea's Reign
Hoshea reigned nine years until the Assyrians put an end to the Kingdom of Israel and deported its people.
