Which kingdom fell in 722 BC?

Explanation:
Understanding the split after Solomon helps explain the timeline. After Solomon’s reign, the united kingdom divided into two: the Northern Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom. In 722 BC, the Northern Kingdom fell to the Assyrians; its capital Samaria was captured and many residents were exiled, ending it as an independent kingdom. The Southern Kingdom, known as Judah, remained intact until 586 BC when Babylon conquered Jerusalem. So the kingdom that fell in 722 BC is the Northern Kingdom. The term Israel is sometimes used for the Northern Kingdom, but the event in that year refers specifically to the Northern Kingdom’s fall.
