In ancient Israel, there were no well-defined organizational structures, which were within the framework of the state. Despite this the different generations of Israel survived and communicated a sense of belonging to the people. Three important factors can be identified which gave rise to the awareness of the unity of all the people of Israel. The first of these was derived from a single ancestor, then - the belief in one God and cult YHWH with the annual great feast. In the process of social development of Israel this became a foundation for the creation of a single administrative body with strictly designated borders and a central authority to which everything was subordinated. The creation of royal institutions was important. On the other hand, in ancient Israel there were centrifugal tendencies which manifested themselves at the beginning of the creation of the kingdom. This was apparent not only in the strictly outlined territories of the various generations, but also by the leadership of older generations or the cities. The separatist tendency has come to fruition after the death of the third king of Israel Solomon (970-931 BC), when all of Israel split into two independent states.
