The Biblical story on the history of the Kingdom of Judah, as can be read in the Books of Samuel and Kings is describing the story as was told by the Jerusalemite elite: what they knew, what they wanted to tell and story that served their religious, cultic, political and economic interests. A geographical-archaeological research of the land, together with other historical sources and a critical reading of the Biblical material can expose a different story that was not told by the Jerusalemite elite.
