La The Phoenician Imprint on the Origin of the Kingdom of Israel

The increasingly precise knowledge of the emergence of the political Israelite
entities throughout the 9th century BCE, forces us to consider the importance
that the political agenda of the Phoenician cities of Tire and Sidon exerted on this
process. Different internal and external causes to the very development of these
Phoenician cities made it necessary to dynamize strong political entities in the
highlands of Palestine to serve their interests in the Levant scenario. Although it is true that, at the beginning of this process, the primary sources are scarce and we
are obliged to follow the biblical account, the appearance of Assyria in the Levant
propitiated the development of epigraphy and enriched the range of sources of information.
The close contact between Phoenicians and Israelites left its trace, moreover,
in the cultural manifestations of the northern and southern kingdoms that we
can recognize in the texts, the material remains, etc., that the studies of the last
years have provided us.
