본문내용

As Egypt weakened around 1200 B.C., petty kingdoms and city-states emerged, especially in Syria and Canaan. One of the city-states of Hebrews was Israel. Around 970 B.C. Solomon became the king of Israel, a small state in western Asia. In the Near East, there were empires dominating, and still the small Israel survived through for quite long. After Solomon’s death, Israel began to disintegrate. Between 1000 and 500 B.C, the Assyrians, the Chaldeans, and the Persians all established empires that encompassed large areas of the ancient Near East.
