  6. Canaanites known as Phoenicians • Canaanite neighbors to the north are the sailors & traders known as Phoenicians • Most important idea passed along during trade was the alphabet, which used sounds rather than pictures to communicate

  7. 3-2 Kingdom of IsraelMain Idea: Israelites chose a king to unite them against their enemies Philistines were the strongest people in Canaan because they knew how to make iron weapons. 12 Tribes knew they had to UNITE against the Philistines. Samuel chose Saul as the first king but soon God was not pleased by Saul’s disobedience.

  11. #3. Assyrians become Samaritans (from capital, Samaria), read Torah & worship the one God ↓ #4. small, land-locked Judah is only kingdom left…..Egyptians conquer it

  12. #5 Even stronger Chaldeans take over Judah ↓ #6 Nebuchadnezzar, the Chaldean king, forces many Jews to leave Jerusalem and sends them all the way to Babylon ↓ #7 Jews try to revolt ONE more time. Neb. destroys temple & thousands exiled to Babylon (Babylonian Captivity)
